There was no cameraman on that boat. It would be simply impossible to manage a full sized camera on a boat like that. The ones you see at the start on Wild Oats and Comanche are tossed off as soon as they leave the Harbour and even they are not using full sized cameras. Any vision shot during the race is done by crew members. This vision was shot by SBS reporter Nick Vindin (who did the race on Maserati this time). I'm sure all he used was a GoPro on a pole. That's what it looks like, anyway. The girl sitting near the hatch is a regular crew member. She's been with them for years but I don't know her. I know it isn't Vanessa Dudley, who has also been with them for a long time.
