2004 US SAILING One Design Sailing Symposium
Racing rules expert Dave Perry discusses ethic in sailing |
Over 100
participants representing more than 40 one-design classes
participated in US SAILING's One-Design Symposium, held
in November 2004
in Newport, RI. This is the first time in the history of the
organization that such a Symposium of this magnitude was organized
and it was a success among participants. The Symposium was filled
with interesting workshops offered by experts in various areas
including newsletters, web pages, sponsorship, promotion,
measurement and class management. General sessions included panel
discussions on how to invigorate a class or fleet and class
relationships with builders and sailmakers. |
