Can someone find a verifable source for the following:

, he was awarded the coveted silver medal of The International Sailing Federation (ISAF).^[1]

I removed it, but it is a pity as this is probably true. Also, many facts come newspaper articles and there is doubdt about their rigor. Some additiona sources? I leave the shaky facts in, but this is borderline. Szafranpl (talk) 09:34, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is an official (e-mail) ISAF confirmation:

Professor Czeslaw Marchaj was presented the Silver Medal in 2009. http://www.sailing.org/about/isaf/awards/medals.php — Preceding unsigned comment added by Szafranpl (talk • contribs) 13:04, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Mr Marchaj,

Your father was actually recorded as receiving the Institution’s Silver Medal for his paper:

“ Vulnerability of Modern Sailing Boats to Capsize in Rough Weather”, which he presented at The International Conference on Design Considerations for Small Craft, in February 1984.

I have attached an extract from the 1985 Annual Transactions, which records the award of the medal, together with a copy of your father’s paper which was published in the Conference Proceedings.

Kind regards, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.36.56.50 (talk) 06:15, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
