New Trophies Introduced at the Qld Titles
The two people that were recognised by having perpetual trophies named after them have a passion for sailing and getting kids on the water in Sabots enjoying sailing. For numerous years they have put in many hours sharing their love and knowledge of sailing Sabots with children and their families.
It’s an honour to be able to acknowledge their devotion to the sport of sailing and particularly their support of the Sabot class by naming these new trophies after them.
Top placed competitor who is aged 12 years and under:
“Peter Osborne Perpetual Trophy
Aged 12 years and under Queensland Champion”
Peter Osbourne is based out of Townsville Sailing Club and is a fantastic ambassador for sailing in North Qld.
