[singlepic id=739 w=300 h=204 float=left]ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year – Southampton – Sono aperte le votazioni che condurranno alla nomina dei velisti dell’anno Rolex: un premio che nei suoi quindici anni di storia è ormai considerato uno dei più prestigiosi a livello mondiale.
Ai premiati, infatti, non va solo un orologio Rolex, ma va soprattutto il pubblico riconoscimento degli sforzi fatti per il raggiugimento dei massimi obiettivi sportivi.
Il periodo preso in considerazione è sempre lo stesso: si devono votare i velisti sulla base di quanto fatto nel corso dell’ultima stagione agonistica (settembre 2008-agosto 2009). I voti dovranno pervenire all’ISAF entro le 12.00 del 9 settembre.
Queste votazioni serviranno a determinare la lista dei nominati, che verranno poi votati dai 130 rappresentati le federazioni nazionali in seno all’ISAF.
I vincitori saranno annunciati il 10 novembre a Busan, in Corea, nel corso dell’Assemblea Nazionale Annuale.

ISAF ROLEX WORLD SAILOR OF THE YEAR AWARDS 2009, NOMINATIONS INVITED
[ISAF Presse Release] Nominations are now invited for the 2009 ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year Awards, the most prestigious award of recognition in the sport of sailing. The nominees and winners since the first presentation in 1994 form an exceptional roll call of the world’s top sailors from all disciplines of the sport.
There is only one male and one female ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year, who will not only win the coveted Rolex timepiece and trophy, but receive true recognition of their achievement from their peers across the world.
Nominations may be made by anyone and the only criteria are that sailors must have performed an “outstanding achievement in the sport of sailing” during the qualifying period of 1 September 2008 to 31 August 2009. Nominations should be sent in to ISAF by 12.00 (UTC) on Wednesday 9 September 2009 on the Official Nomination Form which may be found here.
A shortlist of nominations will be drawn up by ISAF from all those received by the deadline and those making the cut will go on to become the ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year 2009 Nominees. The 130 ISAF Member National Authorities will then vote for one male and one female sailor who they believe merit the Awards.
The accomplishments of the sailors nominated each year are an inspiration – from windsurfers and dinghy sailors to offshore specialists, a nominee’s achievements may be an exceptional series of regatta wins, a record breaking passage or a triumph against the odds. There have already been some remarkable achievements in our sport since September 2008.
The winners will be announced at an Awards dinner on Tuesday 10 November in Busan, Korea, the host city for the ISAF Annual Conference. They will be presented with the unique marble and silver trophy depicting the globe, crowned with five silver spinnakers representing the continents, together with a personalized Rolex timepiece.
The past nominees and winners of the ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year include the highest achievers in the sport, with the winners’ roll call reading:
