FINALISTS ANNOUNCED for the 2020 QUEENSLAND SAILING AWARDS
We are pleased to announce the finalists of the 2020 Queensland Sailing Awards. Nominations came from clubs big and small all across Queensland and include high flyers that are heading to the Tokyo Olympics, volunteers who put in incredible hours to put races on for club members, professionals who are working for our sport and the promoters who make sure we read about sailing in mainstream media.
It’s time to celebrate the best in Queensland and the winners will be announced online Thursday 10th September @6pm. Join us on the night to celebrate Queensland’s Sailing Community.
