Who is Your Unsung Hero?

If you’re a regular Latitude reader you’ve probably noticed that many of the same names make headlines and show up in racing box scores again and again. While these sailing stars certainly deserve the notoriety, in an upcoming article we plan to turn the spotlight on a lesser-known group of sailors who quietly make a dramatic difference in our sport with little or no recognition — a group we’ll call Latitude 38‘s Unsung Heroes.

We’re talking about folks who, out of the goodness of their hearts, volunteer their time and expertise to introduce novices to our sport, mentor young people, nurture disabled sailors, endure long hours bobbing around on committee boats, or teach the time-honored skills of marlinspike seamanship.

So if you’ve got an ‘unsung hero’ you’d like to nominate to our honor roll, shoot us an email about them and, if possible, a few photos, and tell us why you think they qualify for this special recognition.
