Ft. Lauderdale, FL Today, US Sailing announced the nominees for the US Sailing 2009 Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year Award. I'm happy to announce that two members of our team were named to the shortlist for this year's award; Molly O'Bryan Vandemoer and I made the list. I was honored to win this award last year.

US SAILING's Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year Award is presented annually to the female U.S. sailor who has demonstrated on-the-water excellence at national and/or international events to earn their place in the history books.
The winner will be announced, and presented, with the award at the end of February. We are all very excited. It is a great way to start of our campaign. We hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season.
