Brotherhood of International Markboat Operators Award for excellence in volunteering for Race Committee. This is award was first presented to Grady Foster in 2011 and today we will be presenting the award to some very well deserving recipients. Interestingly, the Brotherhood was formed at one of our Sister Cities , Savannah, GA, in preparation for the 1996 Sailing Olympic Games. According to official documents, after a very difficult day in very big seas, a group of mark boat operators banded together and issued a set of demands to the Olympic Race Officials. It is unclear whether their demands were met but in any event this banding together formed the nidus for the Brotherhood affectionately known at the BIMBO’s. Currently there are members and chapters all over the world making sure PRO’s look good. The organization is complete with a website that’s headquartered in the Netherlands and even has a Facebook page. After nominations are made, the Selection Committee sends the year’s award winner’s name by carrier pigeon prior to SAYRA Annual General Meeting.
