Hall of Fame
To mark its historic centenary anniversary, World Sailing (then ISAF) launched the ISAF Sailing Hall of Fame to celebrate its heroes across the world, all of whom have achieved greatness in the sport of sailing.
Six inductees entered the ISAF Sailing Hall of Fame in its inaugural year. They were announced and awarded on Monday 5 November 2007 at a spectacular dinner at the Estoril Casino, Estoril, Portugal.
The Centenary of ISAF was an opportunity to look back over 100 years of the International Sailing Federation and the milestones that have helped make our sport today.
Behind these milestones are men and women who have pushed boundaries, achieved incredible feats and shown courage, passion and a desire to succeed. As the governing body for the sport, World Sailing seeks to recognise those who have made a significant impact on the sport of sailing during their life. Nominations for inductees were submitted by World Sailing members, with the final decision confirmed by the ISAF Executive Committee.
The Honorary Chairman for the ISAF Sailing Hall of Fame is His Majesty King Constantine, an ISAF President of Honour.
