The “Deb Hoeve, Fearless Sailor Award” established “Celebrating New Club Members that have Embraced the Heart and Soul of CLSA”.
Deb Hoeve joined CLSA as new member with little sailing experience. She embraced her new sport. She rarely missed a chance to participate in races Though her MC capsized more than some, she always got back up and got going again. Starting the next race with a bright and friendly smile. Sadly, Deb passed away too early. This award was established in her memory, celebrating her fearless and infectious love of her new sport.
This award is presented by the outgoing commodore at the annual Winter banquet, with input from the other commodores serving as officers in the club.
