PCCSC SAILORS OF THE WEEK
FALL ‘10
Each week of the regular season, the PCCSC selects Sailors of the Week
for outstanding performances in Coed, Women's and Team Racing
Competition. The categories for the awards will be Coed sailor of the
week, which could just be skipper or crew or both skipper and crew,
Women’s sailor of the week, which could just be skipper or crew or
both skipper and crew. To be a Women’s sailor of the week you must be
on a team that is all women including both divisions, the sailor can
be sailing a coed regatta but they must have a full women’s team.
During the spring season only we may also name a Team of the week for
a team’s performance in any team race regatta.
You are part of the process! Each Monday we will accept nominations
from the sailors and coaches of the conference for Sailor of the week
awards. All nominees will be mentioned along with the Winners.
Please participate and be part of recognizing great performances by
your peers. Email your nominations each week to John Vandemoer at [email protected]
