Bundock's latest accolade

News from the New South Wale Sailing Awards

Congratulations are in order after the announcement earlier tonight of the winners of the NSW Sailing Awards for 2002. With the introduction of five new awards categories this year there were a number of inaugural winners starting off a new tradition. The Services to Sailing Award was presented to a number of individuals who have given many dedicated hours to the sailing community. NSW Sailing Foundation Chairman Chris Harper said, "tonight is about recognising the sailors and those who have given to the sailing fraternity".

The night was also a successful fundraiser for the foundation who assists NSW Sailors and promotion of sailing in NSW, with guest speaker Grant Simmer revealing some of the trade secrets of a winning America's Cup team. Many guests went home with fantastic items they had purchased during the auction. The Foundation would like thank the sponsors for their support of this event.
