Sally Garrett commended on excellent race organisation services to Royal Akarana Yacht Club
A tremendous amount of expertise shown in race management areas is reflected in Royal Akarana Yacht Club vice commodore Sally Garrett’s nomination for a 2016 Yachting New Zealand service award.
An accomplished sailor as well as a capable race official, Sally is in charge of all sailing activities at the Auckland club, the most recent of which being the 2016 ANZ Sail Fiji ocean race. The race to Fiji from Auckland saw a tireless effort to ensure all yachts competing met safety standards, as well as dealing with entries, customs, sponsorship requirements, organizing volunteers, and race documents.
The high standard in which Sally carried out these tasks is said to epitomize the way she oversees all sailing activities at the club including club racing, national championships, and international events.
Yachting New Zealand heartily thanks Sally for her services to the club - particularly this year with the big job of overseeing the ANZ Sail Fiji Race.
