'Sailing into the future'
Why is it important to have a structured sail training programme in order to produce athletes capable of going on to achieve success at international level?
What can countries (MNAs) do to provide support for identified 'pockets of talent' and how can real talent be nurtured through coaching the sailor and not simply justifying the funding ?

Further Details
The ISAF Learn to Sail Training Programme is a "how-to" programme to aid ISAF Member National Authorities (MNAs) in the provision of a generic national learn to sail programme. It is a comprehensive programme, aligned with established training programmes and reflecting current best practice.
The Seminar will also discuss the following common factors required in establishing a national programme, critical partnerships and commercialising a programme:
Common Factors
- Audited training centres working to an agreed standard in accordance; with national heath and safety guidelines
- Instructors qualified to a recognised level
- Common syllabus for all training centres within a country
- National administration and management processes
- Adequate human and financial resources
ISAF Accreditation System
Hand in hand with the ISAF Learn to Sail Training Programme, ISAF has launched an Accreditation System, which will recognize MNA National Learn to Sail Training Programmes - ISAF 'Recognized Training'
The ISAF Accreditation System is based on the contents of the ISAF Learn to Sail Training Programme which is being used as the global standard for MNAs seeking ISAF Accreditation. The ISAF Accreditation System will set out the key standards which an MNA would have to meet, together with other elements which add value to a National Learn to Sail Training Programme. The Connect to Sailing Seminar will help those MNAs that are wishing to come onboard with this new Scheme.
The Seminar will be a mixture of presentations, panel debate, questions and answers and expert advice to fully brief delegates and particularly representatives from Member National Authorities on the opportunities provided by the ISAF Learn to Sail Training Programme and ISAF Accreditation System. Networking opportunities will also be an essential part of the Seminar.
Training is seen by ISAF as a vital foundation to the sport of sailing and the publication of the ISAF Learn to Sail Training Programme and introduction of the ISAF Accreditation System are exciting and fundamental steps in the provision of educational material to support the development of sailing around the world.
All delegates to the 2010 ISAF Annual Conference are welcome to attend. The Seminar will take place at the Conference Hotel on the first Sunday.
