The award will be made to PARTEC Composites Technician apprentices with achievements in marine composites. Graeme Margetts, composites trainer at PARTEC Institute will manage the selection for this year, being the inaugural presentation of this award and a memorial to Roger Wolfe and his devotion to composites in boatbuilding.
The Rodger Wolfe Achievement Award will be presented to a high achiever Composites Technician who works at Riviera Australia, and who graduated from Partec Institute Composites Training Centre in 2024.
Zidane Zinedine Farkas completed his apprenticeship with the Gold Coast based internationally famous boat manufacturer Riviera Australia, and it is a noteworthy coincidence that his surname is the same as the Czechoslovakian “Farkush” for wolf, and so it is fitting that he gets the Rodger Wolfe award.
