As a life-long sailor I am committed to working for the global growth of sailing, in particular with youth and emerging nations. I believe ISAF should drive this growth by working with, and enabling, the many organisations within our sport. My priorities for 2013-2016 are: Encourage growth Ensure ISAF events promote sailing effectively, and deliver value to MNAs, Classes and sailors Increase ISAF revenues |
