US SAILING One-Design Awards
Here is your chance to recognize excellent service to our sport!
Nominate your favorite club, fleet, regatta or one-design spark plug for a US SAILING One-Design Award. Did your club run an outstanding multi-class regatta this year? Is there an exceptional person at your club who was responsible for making your fleet grow? US SAILING wants to hear about it.
At the Spring US SAILING meeting every year, up to five awards are presented to recognize outstanding individuals and organizations in one-design sailing. The categories are: Service, Leadership, Club, Regatta, and Creativity. These awards highlight role models of creative leadership in one-design sailing.

Leadership

leadership in creating the outstanding fleet building program.
Club

regatta.
