AUSTRALIAN SAILING AWARDS 2016
CLUB YACHTING
The RPAYC would like to congratulate the entire Australian Paralympic Sailing Team who were awarded the ‘ Sailor of the Year with a Disability ’ award at the Australian Sailing Awards on Saturday 29th October . Club members Daniel Fitzgibbon and Liesl Tesch are a part of that very successful team being the first sailing crew to win back to back gold medals in the Paralympic or Olympic Games .
Whilst Dan and Liesl were unlucky not to receive the Male and Female Sailor of the Year Awards , both winners of those awards , Tom Burton and Lisa Darmanin made special mention of them in their speeches for their
outstanding year and Olympic Games campaign which saw them completely dominate the field on their way to gold .
Liesl was awarded the much anticipated President ’ s Award , which is given at the sole discretion of the Australian Sailing President , Matt Allen . The Club is thrilled that Liesl has been recognised for her outstanding contribution to Australian Sailing .
In the Sports Promotion Award , the RPAYC ’ s IdS Program was a finalist but missed out on the top honour which was awarded to Nicole Douglass for her tireless efforts in promoting sailing through her business , Adventures of a Sailor Girl .
