The Canadian Sailing Hall of Fame and the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston are announcing the 2020 Inductees into the Canadian Sailing Hall of Fame. In these initial years, Inductees will be chosen by the Canadian Sailing Hall of Fame Management Committee, with representation from across the country.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.
