Great News! Today, ISAF
announced the final list of nominees for the 2009 Rolex World Sailor of the Year,
and I was on the list. It is such an honor to be included with these other
great sailors and I’m very excited about it.

The award takes into consideration
a sailor’s results from September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009.
“The ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year Awards honor outstanding
sailing achievements and it is the ultimate recognition a sailor can
receive from the world of sailing.” The winner will be voted
on by the 130 member national authorities, and the announcement of the
winner will be made at the Awards Presentation and Dinner on November
10, in Busan, Korea at the ISAF Annual Conference.
Three other sailors made the
short list and they are Sam Davies (GBR), Hilary Lister (GBR), and Blanca Manchon (ESP).
I would like to thank everyone
for their support and encouragement during the past year. I would
especially like to thank my sponsor Carmeuse for their continued support
of my campaign for the 2012 Olympics in London, England. I would also like to thank USSTAG for
their support.
Sail hard,
