MAGNOLIA BEACH, TX\u2014There are a number of ways one can win the annual SCA Helmsman of the Year award. Essentially all of them involve establishing oneself as a hero of the small-boat community, either through acts of extraordinary audacity at the actual helm of a small boat, or selfless acts of thoughtfulness and generosity at a virtual helm somewhere in the small-boat world.<\/p>\n

This year we honor a man who\u2019s done as much as anyone to support small-boat sailing and building\u2014both through his business and in tireless personal efforts\u2014Chuck Leinweber. <\/p>\n

Using his popular online blog and chandlery, Duckworks<\/a>, as a platform, Chuck has sponsored or otherwise supported numerous small-boat events. In 2007 he personally founded the Texas 200, a popular group sailing event that continues to generate excitement and bring new people into sailing, and this year he\u2019s helping launch the first ever Ply-Wooden Boat Festival<\/a> in Port Aransas, Texas. But Chuck\u2019s contributions are often less heralded and more personal, as with the many times we\u2019ve seen him quietly setup and even contribute to impromptu online fund-raising efforts for sailors in distress. <\/p>\n

In recognition of his exceptional contributions to the small-boat and sailing world, congratulations and the 2014 SCA Helmsman Award go to Chuck Leinweber\u2014a genuine \u201cnice guy\u201d and a true friend and benefactor to our community. \u2022SCA\u2022<\/p>\n
