Following on from the terrible category and nominees from the magazine awards.  I thought we should have a forum user awards nominations, for the following categories (its dinghy based as that’s where most posters sit)

 

1)Favorite Class of Dinghy

2)Best UK based Sailing club

3)Greatest class association

4)Best sailing clothing manufacturer

5)Best parts manufacturer (sails, Masts, blocks, hulls etc.)

6)Best customer service

7)Best website

8)Life time achievement award (Long standing class that’s consistently stayed fresh and successful)

9)Handicap event of the year

10)Most innovative class

 

So go on (just for fun) let’s do a proper end of year forum awards, post your answers to 1-10 and we will collate them early next year and award each respectively with a special prize of f**k all other then the kudos of being the peoples champions!
