In these long-lived times, a Silver Jubilee is not what it used to be in an era when Golden Jubilees, Centenaries, Tricentenaries and whatever you re having yourself are cascading around us in an almost continuous nostalgia-fest.
Nevertheless the healthy Quarter Century of the Afloat.ie Sailor of the Year contest deserves celebration, as it has evolved since its inception to give a true reflection of Irish sailing in all its historic and extraordinary variety. And it has done this by being based on monthly awards which – at an early stage – weren t found to be enough to truly reflect our sport s exceptional diversity, and so in some months the adjudicators have allocated two or even three awards.

The question of how Vendée Globe sailors deal with boredom is almost ignored these days, as people focus more on the competitive aspects of the race, but each of the skippers still had to face nearly three months alone and it s not easy.
The French sailor Maxime Sorel, who skippered V and B-Mayenne to 10th place, has revealed an interesting technique that he used to combat feelings of boredom and perhaps loneliness, early in a voyage that lasted 82 days and 14 hours.
The 34-year-old civil and marine structures engineer based at Concarneau in Brittany, said he just wrote it all down on paper. I quickly solved the risk of boredom, he told the IMOCA Class. During the descent of the Atlantic in fact, I wrote answers to my questions, put down on paper what I was feeling and found a way to think about things differently.
