Strategy

World Sailing's five-year strategy 2018 - 2022 was approved at the 2018 Mid-Year Meeting in London, Great Britain.

The Strategy is broken down into four pillars which include:

  • Inspiration and Participation – To build a strong profile and image for sailing – using our key points of difference to resonate with people and give them a lifetime of sport. Presenting the sport compellingly and engagingly to attract and retain a wide global fan base.
  • Membership and Governance – To provide a professional and valued service to our members that enable the sport to grow in relevance and influence. To establish a governance structure within the International Federation that is simple, clear and transparent to all stakeholders.
  • Sport Integrity – To create and regulate exciting and safe competition events with fairness and integrity.
  • Leadership in sport – To provide leadership to the sport through strategies that ensure its long-term sustainability and growth. To seek collaboration with partners to deliver successful implementation

Each pillar then has a clear set of detailed strategies which will provide the International Federation with direction over the next five years. To ensure the strategy remains on track, a series of measures will be used, enabling reporting into World Sailing’s Member National Authorities and other key stakeholders.
