A second-place finish during qualifying for the Nations Cup, participation with leading US woman sailor Dawn Riley during the recent Columbus Cup and formidable showings in several other overseas events all contributed to her garnering the prestigious honour.

And as a result, Bermuda's best female sailor has been invited to a party hosted by SAIL Magazine at next year's Sail Expo in Atlantic City, New Jersey where the American Sail Advancement Program (ASAP) will honour the All-Americans.

Sail Expo was created earlier this year by ASAP.
