The Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron has honoured two club members who will be part of the Australian sailing team at the Beijing Olympic Games, last night naming Nathan Outteridge and Karyn Gojnich as the RSYS Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year.
Nathan was awarded the Idris Cup, Karyn the Joanne Trophy, both being for excellence in local, national and international sailing competition.
Commodore Bill Wood announced the awards at the 2007-2008 Sailing Season Prizegiving at the Kirribilli clubhouse, although neither Nathan nor Karyn were able to be present.
Both are competing in regattas in Europe in the lead-up to the Olympic sailing regatta that will be held at Qingdao, China, from 16-21 August, Nathan as the helmsman in the 49er skiff, Karyn as mainsheet trimmer in the Yngling keelboat.
A third Squadron member competing in the Olympics is Iain Murray, skipper of the Star class two-man keelboat/
