Apr 23, 2020
Soling Worlds Champions Sandy MacMillan, Glen Dexter and Andreas Josenhans
The Canadian Sailing Hall of Fame and the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston are announcing the 2020 Inductees into the Canadian Sailing Hall of Fame. In these initial years, Inductees will be chosen by the Canadian Sailing Hall of Fame Management Committee, with representation from across the country. The selection process is based on criteria established in the CSHOF By-Laws. In future it is intended that the nomination process will be open to the sailing public.
As per the By-Laws, any Canadian sailor who wins an Olympic or Paralympic Medal, or a World Championship in an Olympic or Paralympic class is considered an automatic Inductee. Thirteen of our fourteen 2020 Inductees meet that criterion.
