Good stuff, again. Curtis must be a very knowledgeable sailor, as he has a distinct working knowledge of the game. Thanks for the timely story, considering in less than one month those brave, enterprising sailors will once again try to master the Great Lakes from two angles, that being from Port Huron, and Chicago to our beautiful Mackinac Island. Let’s pray they all make it, sooner than later, and all healthy. Those sailors are inspirational, and goal oriented .

Thanks for your work, Ms Howard.

Gregg

PEACE

Great guy, very talented, but was never named Rolex Sailor of the Year.

Note: The Canadian Yachting Association appointed Curtis Florence the Rolex Sailor of the Year Award during a dinner hosted by the Royal Canadian Yachting Club in 2009. (He confirmed that title during fact check/accuracy review prior to publication.)

PS: I love Scuttlebutt Sailing News. Thank you for all your great work.

Thanks for clarifying as is is confusing without context: https://www.sailing.ca/annual-national-awards/

Rolex Sailor of the Year Award is typically associated with the the World Sailing award. Onward!
