Goals

Representing especially Latin America, it would be my goal to strengthen the presence of our continent within ISAF. This by consulting consistently with all countries involved I also would like to sailing being less expensive, especially given the adverse economical circumstances in Latin America.

Youth Development, help with seminars for trainers and judges should be another important push as most countries still do not have or not enough trainer and/or judges to be really part of the international scene.

Contracts between the European countries and Latin America to develop training seasons during winter season in our in our parts of the world, where sun and water temperature invite to sail.

Selection of cheaper boats for the Olympic Games.

Participation in Regional Games

Once every two years an ISAF meeting for specially needed subjects (development).

Creating data base which ISAF could handle to offer service to countries in need of instructors as well as trainers.
