420 sailors for generations have known Jim. In recent years, as well as running clinics at the ISAF Youths, Jim has been a frequent contributor to 420 International Championships, most recently at the 2007 Junior Europeans at Medemblik (if you were there, you will remember an intense discussion, using video, with Sherman Cheng (SIN), the eventual winning crew - see photo). Many sailors will know that Jim has been the leader of the 420 Class Coaching Seminars which we have been holding for 420 coaches worldwide – most recently in Rio de Janeiro last November (watch this space!). If you have not been one of Jim’s “ferrets” on the water, you will probably have read his books – which have strongly featured the 420.

So we are delighted that ISAF yesterday honoured Jim at his 30th ISAF Youth Worlds (click above for ISAF News).
