You can do this by sending an e-mail to speciali@panamaeditore.it with the name of your candidate and your reasons for proposing him or her. Starting tomorrow at 1 p.m., another parallel poll will appear at the bottom of the Sailor of the Year poll where you can vote for “your picks” until Oct. 16. The two candidates with the highest number of preferences will pass the round and join the 50 who will compete in the second round.

AN APPETIZER OF THE “CHOSEN BY YOU”
Several applications have already arrived: a great many, for example, have pointed us to Sicilian Salvatore Mantaci as their candidate, Salvatore Mantaci, left Genoa in August 2015 on his sailboat Tarabaralla (1978 CBS Serenity, a 34-foot-long #plasticfantastic), which is currently engaged in a solo Atlantic crossing (http://oceanotarabaralla.blogspot.it); or Diego Negri, currently ranked third in the Star Sailors League rankings after remaining at the top (a record at the time) for one year. The very strong Ligurian sailor in 2015 won the District 9 (France) Iscyra and District 14 (Italy and Greece) championships. Then he triumphed at the Lillia Trophy, Oktoberfest, Polo Star in Viareggio, and the XMAS Regatta in Nice. Then concluding with an excellent bronze at the Star World Championship in Argentina. These are just two of the hot names we will unveil tomorrow! Warm up your mice!
