Well known on the local sailing scene, Jane Moon was recently honoured by the International Sailing Federation (ISAF), receiving an ISAF Silver Medal for her Outstanding Contribution to the Sport of Sailing Worldwide.

The medal was presented to Jane by Goran Petersson, President of the International Sailing Federation, at the recent ISAF Annual Meetings, held in Dun Laoghaire Ireland and on the occasion of her retirement from ISAF after 18 years of service.

Jane first attended the ISAF meetings in 1994 and since then has not only represented the Cayman Islands but also the entire Caribbean and Central American Region at World level, focusing on the issues of smaller countries in both development needs and elite competitive sailing and women in sport.

Jane has also been recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), receiving The Women and Sport Achievement Diploma in recognition of her outstanding contribution in promoting the development and participation of women and girls in sport.

Jane continues to be an active sailor and with her crewmembers Lindsey Macfee, Tomeaka McTaggart, Nicolas Taylor and Kelly Hill is the current J22 National Champion and overall winner of the 2012 J22 Summer Series and is in top contention for the 2012 J22 Winter Series.
