At the ceremony, Rick was praised for his creative camera work on il mostro. Inmarst's Piers Cunningham commented: "Conditions onboard were tough as the crew faced constant heat and humidity. The majority of this leg saw the fleet sailing upwind often against a strong current, alongside the tricky conditions and facing the frustration of being becalmed. It was a tough call for the judges between the eventual winner Deppe and the work of Sander Pluijim. Deppe won because he demonstrated a professional ability to create visual drama out of predictable situations whereas Sander capitalised on a dramatic scenario. Deppe's shots from the bowsprit were amazing."
Congratulations of Rick on being recognized for his fantastic work.
