One of the prized awards at the Midwinter Championship is the SAIL LIKE 53 award presented in memory of past AMYA president, and long-time Midwinter RD Dave Brawner, for outstanding sportsmanship. This year's winner was Jim Kaighin from the Abacos, Bahamas. Jim has competed at the Midwinters for 18 of its 19 years, winning 10 times. He is the epitome of the Corinthian spirit of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct both on, and off, the race course. Congratulations Jim!!
