Here's a thought: maybe we should nominate Rick for the National Sailing Hall of Fame. Whoever can write the best Sailing bio of him (the obit didn't really cover sailing too much) should do the submission.

At the moment, Rick is in the catsailor hall of fame, but not the national one.

The page to submit someone is here: http://www.nshof.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=411&Itemid=124
