ISAF and Rolex are proud to announce that the male and female winners of the ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year Awards are: Ed Baird (USA) and Claire Leroy (FRA)
"Sailing is a wonderful team sport," said Claire Leroy, upon receiving her award. "This year has been incredible- thank you so much for your support, it will contribute greatly to our time in the Olympics."
Ed Baird took to the stage and in a voice that showed true emotion he said, "this has been a massive effort by a big, big team. The America's Cup is a dream for us all, but our sport is so much more than that. I would really like to acknowledge all of you who are here in support. Thank you." - Regattanews.com
