Karl James – New ABSA President
The vote was unanimous! Karl James, a two-time Olympian in the Laser Class who started sailing in Antigua at the age of 12, is the new President of the Antigua and Barbuda Sailing Association (ABSA). James was elected at the group’s General Meeting in January. He assumes the role from Geoffrey Pidduck, founder of the organization 30-plus years ago, who leaves behind big shoes to fill. James is certainly equal to the task having recently been awarded an MBE by Great Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II for his contribution over 35 years to yachting in Antigua & Barbuda.
