NYC Race Officer, Jack Roy, Selected for Olympics
NYC Member and International Race Officer,
Jack Roy, has just been notified that he will be one of the 16 man 2012 Olympic Race Management Team at Weymouth.
Jack, one of two International Race Officers in the National Yacht Club, was one of 26 potential candidates. He said that he is honoured and excited at the prospect of being at the Olympics, but regrets that he cannot bring his regular race management team with him, “as it is with their hard work that I have managed to run the major events that have helped me be selected”. He has a wealth of experience of officiating, both at home and abroad, at international sailing events and his selection is vindication of all the hard work he and his team have put in over the years.
Jack has acted as Race Officer for many World and European championships run on Dublin Bay and elsewhere in recent years including Flying Fifteen Worlds, Laser 4.7 Europeans, 2007 Etchell European Championships, Volvo Dun Laoghaire Regatta, Cork Week, and SB3 Worlds 2008, ISAF Worlds 2010.
