The most significant sailing performances of the year are being heralded by US Sailing with the announcement of the 10 men and seven women who have been shortlisted for the 2014 Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year awards.
The nominees will be reviewed by a panel of noted sailing journalists who discuss the merits of each sailor’s racing results before voting to determine US Sailing’s 2014 Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year.
The winners will be announced in mid-January and honored on Thursday, Feb. 26, during a luncheon at the New York Yacht Club in Manhattan, when they will be presented with specially-engraved Rolex timepieces.
