John has served as our Chief Measurer since 1997, presiding over nine Star Class World Championships and the 2000 and 2004 Olympic Games. He has done excellent work developing new techniques to enforce our specifications, in an era when technical developments are testing our class rules. He has spent many days on behalf of the Class coordinating with ISAF and other international groups. In addition, John has done a great job as Principal Race Officer for the past 2 World Championships, one on very short notice. We all look forward to having John work with the class for many years to come. ----------- Harry Nye Trophy The Harry Nye Trophy recognizes an individual’s outstanding contributions to the ISCYRA.
