ISAF LAUNCHES “ISAF SAILING HALL OF FAME”


As part of its Centenary year celebrations, the International Sailing Federation
(ISAF) is launching the ISAF Sailing Hall of Fame.



Six inductees from across the world of sailing will enter the ISAF Sailing Hall of
Fame in this inaugural year. They will be announced and awarded on Monday 5 November
at a spectacular gala dinner at the Estoril Casino, Estoril, Portugal. The event is
sponsored by Portugal Tourism, Estoril Tourism and Cascais Municipality.



ISAF President, Goran Petersson (SWE) said “We’re celebrating 100 years of the
International Sailing Federation! What better way is there than to honour those who
have who have dedicated their lives to the sport of sailing throughout our history.
The ISAF Sailing Hall of Fame is a legacy from our Centenary year and will be a
record of achievement for generations to come.”



This prestigious invitation-only event will play host to the heroes, personalities
and supporters of the sport of sailing, together with VIPs from Portugal and around
the world. The renowned sailing commentator, PJ Montgomery (NZL) will be the compere
for the evening, so it promises to be an entertaining night.



The ISAF Sailing Hall of Fame will be a quadrennial event.
