Australian Sailing Hall of Fame

The Australian Sailing Hall of Fame was established in 2017 by Australian Sailing in collaboration with the Australian National Maritime Museum. There are two nomination categories: the sailor or athlete category; and the general category which recognises those who have played a critical supporting role such as an official, coach or similar.[1]
