Australian Sailing’s Barranjoey Pin alumni program is moving to a new phase, with presentation ceremonies being organised in Victoria and NSW around the key domestic regattas Sail Sydney and Sail Melbourne International.

However, with more than 200 eligible recipients already identified, Australian Sailing chief executive John Lee has issued a new call for assistance from the sailing community to ensure the governing body has the correct up-to-date details it needs to ensure as many alumni as possible are contacted.

“By the end of this process, we should have a comprehensive database of our elite representatives dating right back to 1948, when Jock Sturrock, Len Fenton and Robert French first competed for Australia at an Olympic regatta,” Lee said.

“That will allow us to not only recognise those sailors’ great contributions to our history through the presentation of the Barranjoey Pin, but also to engage with them or their descendants in an ongoing alumni program, which we believe is a positive step for all concerned.”

Australian Sailing recently released the full list of sailors identified as being eligible to receive a Pin. That release was accompanied by a request for information about athletes who may have been missed. The next challenge is to make sure Australian Sailing has accurate details for those on the list.

Below is the list of recipients for whom we still request further information, such as best email contact, postal address and/or phone number. If you or someone you know appears here, please contact news@sailing.org.au
