The Seychelles Yachting Association rewarded its best athletes for the 2019 season in a prize-giving ceremony at its base at the Sail Training Scheme, Roche Caïman, on Saturday afternoon.
The ceremony which preceded the Seychelles Yachting Association’s (SYA) annual general meeting, was attended by the athletes as well as family members as the association presented certificates and trophies for all the races it organised last year in what its long serving chairman Alain Alcindor described as a very successful season.
“We managed to organise all our scheduled races on our calendar with or without wind except for the Regatta races and we also did very well in the Sports Awards of the Year crowning ceremony where Rodney Govinden was voted Sportsman of the Year and he also qualified for the Summer Olympics which was a very good achievement. We even hosted the African Optimist Championship to make it a very good season and we must thank all our faithful sponsors for their support in 2019,” revealed chairman Alcindor to Sports NATION after the prize-giving ceremony.
