To mark its centenary, the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) is launching the ISAF Sailing Hall of Fame this year, to honour the sport's most prominent stars.
The first six as yet unnamed inductees will be announced in November at a gala dinner at Estoril in Portugal, which will be sponsored by Portugal Tourism, Estoril Tourism and Cascais Municipality and will play host to some of the best known and most popular figures in sailing.
Goran Petersson, the president of the ISAF said of the new Hall of Fame: "We're celebrating 100 years of the International Sailing Federation. What better way is there than to honour those who have who have dedicated their lives to the sport of sailing throughout our history.
"The ISAF Sailing Hall of Fame is a legacy from our Centenary year and will be a record of achievement for generations to come."
After this first event, the ISAF Sailing Hall of Fame will welcome new inductees every four years.
