Tonight from 7 pm, Irish Sailing in an 'online ceremony' will reveal the 2020 winner of the Irish Sailor of the Year award.
Selected from a shortlist of sailors who have already earned monthly awards, the Afloat Irish Sailor of the Year Award will be presented tonight as part of tonight online Irish Sailing Awards hosted by the Irish Sailing Association.
The annual battle for Sailor of the Year is drawn from an impressive list and an overall winner has been selected by the Sailor of the Year Judges.
Afloat Sailors of the Month 2020 kept our sport going through adversity is the view of Winkie Nixon in his review of a line up of 26 individual sailors and pairings who have excelled in their respective disciplines, be it offshore, dinghy, cruising, windsurfing, or sailing administration.
This year's award marks the 25th anniversary of the scheme, a milestone Afloat honoured last weekend with a roll-out of the outright overall winners of the past 24 years.
