\u201cWe\u2019re immensely proud of our inductees this year, as they represent everything we love most about the sport,\u201d said Gary Jobson, co-president of the National Sailing Hall of Fame and emcee of this year\u2019s event. \u201cTheir contributions to the world of sailing have deeply impacted and touched all of our lives, and each of them have created a hefty legacy for the rest of us to live up to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winners from the West Coast include the Bay Area\u2019s Sally Honey, Tim Hogan from Newport Beach, naval architect Bob Perry from Seattle, WA, and Bill Lapworth of Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tim Hogan grew up sailing in Newport Beach, California. He went on to the University of Southern California and was a three-time All-American sailor. Since 2005 he has been president of the Interscholastic Sailing Association (ISSA). In the process he has become the champion of building interscholastic sailing in the United States. Hogan and his board virtually doubled the roster of teams over the past 20 years from around 330, until at the end of 2022 there were 626 high schools with competitive sailing teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sally Honey has twice been named Rolex Yachtswoman of the Year (1973, 1974), and most recently shared\u00a0an inspiring victory<\/a>, winning the 2022 Newport Bermuda Race with her husband Stan Honey aboard their 56-year-old Cal 40\u00a0Illusion<\/em>. Honey has been a leader in safety at sea and is the author of US Sailing\u2019s\u00a0Safety at Sea: A Guide to Safety Under Sail and Personal Survival<\/em>. She has also been chair of several independent review panels studying calamities at sea. She has served on World Sailing\u2019s Offshore Special Regulations Committee for many years, sitting currently as chairperson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe breadth of options offered by our sport is one of the best things about sailing,\u201d Honey said. \u201cI have benefited from my wide-ranging experiences with sailing throughout my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was fortunate to grow up in a sailing family,\u201d she continued. \u201cWhatever class I sailed, I have always been accepted based on my skill level. It has been my experience that sailing can be a great equalizer, no matter one\u2019s strengths or weaknesses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

William \u201cBill\u201d Lapworth partnered with Jack Jensen to build Cal 20s, and later, one of the most popular yachts ever, the Cal 40. Lapworth was one of the first naval architects to successfully embrace the boatbuilding industry\u2019s change from wood to fiberglass. Lapworth and Jensen collaborated on 32 different designs with Cal Yachts. Lapworth cruised for many years on his own Cal Cruising 46 with his wife Peggy and their five children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renowned West Coast naval architect Robert \u201cBob\u201d Perry grew up in Australia, then moved to Seattle with his family when he was 12. He grew up sailing Penguins and eventually began drawing boats, with his career taking off on the success of the Valiant 40. He went on to design for many builders, including Tayana, Cheoy Lee, Valiant, Baba, Ta Shing, Hans Christian Yachts, Islander, Passport, Pacific Seacraft, and Saga. It would be hard to find a harbor in the world that hasn\u2019t been visited by a yacht designed by Bob Perry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
