Craig Heydon, Tuesday, 31 May 2011

Nominations are now open for the 2011 Australian Yachting Awards, recognising outstanding achievements in the sport of sailing during the last year.

The winners will be announced at the 2011 Australian Yachting Awards dinner to be held at Luna Park in Sydney on Friday October 28.

The 2011 Australian Yachting Awards categories are as follows:
 
- Male Sailor of the Year
- Female Sailor of the Year
- Sailor of the Year with a Disability
- Youth Sailor of the Year
- Sport Promotion Award
- Lifetime Achievement Award
- Sport Professional Award
- Volunteer Award

Nominations for the awards can be made by anyone in the sailing community with nomination forms and criteria available on the Yachting Australia website via the following link Yachting Awards Information.
 
Nominations for the awards may be made in respect of achievements during the period 16 August 2010 and 31 August 2011 with clubs, class associations and the general sailing community asked to look closely at who they would like to see nominated for an award.
 
The 2011 Australian Yachting Awards will be the first that David Gotze attends as President of Yachting Australia since taking on the role in March.
 
“The annual Yachting Awards provide the ideal opportunity to officially recognise and celebrate those who contribute so much to, and achieve so much in, sailing.
 
"From athletes competing on the world stage to the vast number of tireless volunteers involved at every level of the sport, sailing relies heavily on the contribution of everyday Australians so I encourage anybody who feels they know of an individual who should be considered for an award to make a nomination," said Gotze.
 
Gotze will also present the President's Award which recognises outstanding contributions to Australian sailing. 
 
Nominations close on 5 September 2011 with details regarding venue and ticket sales to be announced at a later date.

Fellow windsurfer Annalise Gilbrt finished the week 17th , picking up a 15th in Friday's only race.

In the multihull open class Paul Darmanin and Aleks Vucic were 10th, crossing the line in the top 10 in all but one of the regatta's 12 races.

Australia's Laser Radial girls and boys representatives, Ashley Stoddart and Matthew Wearn, both finished their tough week on a high in the final race.

Stoddart saved her best result until last, winning the 12th and final race of the event to finish 33rd overall.

Wearn was second in Friday's race to leave him 25th at his first ISAF Youth Sailing World Championship.

"The results from our sailors this week have been positive for the future as they have all gained some invaluable experience," said Stowell. "The entire team is driven to try and qualify to come back for next year's Youth Worlds, they've all gotten so much out of the last week."
