Out on the water, victory in sailboat racing demands more than just strategy and speed. It requires meticulous preparation and practice, unwavering teamwork, honed skills, and the unwavering ability to stay calm when the storm hits.
But the champions of tomorrow, we are celebrating today, understand that the journey to success on the race course is about much more than trophies and finishing lines. These champions understand that It’s about possessing and cultivating the qualities that define a champion on the water, and beyond.
These are the very qualities that Chris Bobson exemplified. His passion for sailing, his dedication to learning, and his unwavering sportsmanship are the reasons we present the Chris Bobson Memorial Award to a member of the Sailing Team each year.
….and this year, the Chris Bobson Memorial award goes to: Luis Bermudez
In addition to winning the perpetual trophy for the year, this year’s recipient also wins a certificate for a sailplane flight at Miami Gliders, in honor of Chris and his love for sailing, on and above the waters.
Congratulations Luis!
