ISAF conference Dublin – my First Two Days. Posted on 11/03/12 in Sailing. Not knowing the ISAF meeting scene, this first trip has been an eye opener. I’ve come here with a limited agenda and to watch how things work. As it’s a 10 day trip, patience is the name of the game. Then came the afternoon, with 3 straight hours dedicated to political plotting resulting in no way forward and no progress for sailing. The afternoon got off to a better start as I jumped ship to the Youth Worlds meeting. It was a...

Why ISAF Conferences Create Winners and Losers While Sailing Stays Static. Posted on 05/07/12 in Sailing. ISAF conferences are infamous for their controversies. In many sports, a collection of volunteers and administrators discussing their sport is a non-event. Sure cycling added the BMX. With great fanfare for Beijing, and swimming debates. Whether to include the 50m race but nobody asks the swimmers to swim backwards. Star sailors, catamaran sailors, match racers, Star sailors again, and now Windsurfers.

The Business Models of Olympic Sailing and How Kiting May Actually ‘Save’ Our Sport. Posted on 09/28/12 in Business. There has been incredible response. To the blockbuster decision for ISAF to remove windsurfing from the 2016 games and replace it with Kitesurfing. This post will not discuss items like lack of communication with current windsurfers, kiteboarding safety. In the short term. Instead, this post will focus on just one item that is being banded about on the windsurf/kitesurf flaming boards.
