Since 1969

www.issa.global 2 www.issa.global International Sailing Schools Association

The International Sailing Schools Association was established by sailing organisations from Austria, Canada, Germany, Finland, France, Holland, Poland, Spain and the UK in London in 1968. It was registered in Switzerland on January 11, 1969.

The ISSA is a non political and non religious organisation. The ISSA promotes the development of sailing, with high standards of instruction and certification throughout the world. In the first years, the organisation associated the biggest yachting federations from Europe and other continents. The members included French Sailing Federation (FFV), Royal Yachting Association from the UK, Canadian Yachting Association, United States Sailing Association or American Sailing Association just to mention a few examples. Since the very beginning the ISSA was busy with setting standards in teaching of sailing school students but also in instructor training. The international team developed the master copies of logbooks that can still be found in many organisations in Europe and worldwide. The ISSA is organizing general meetings every year providing a platform to exchange expertise and experience with leading edge organisations. The subjects of the conferences always include hot topics which attracts renown experts.

www.issa.global 3 In the mid 90-ties the ISSA started to work with individual schools, whereas the national organizations were becoming more and more self-dependent and self-oriented. The ISSA expanded onto Middle East, Australia, former Soviet Union countries, and focusing more on solutions and arrangements that would suite more individual schools rather than large nationwide federations. The ISSA still works with some large national or regional federations but its primary goal is to work with individual schools now. 2008 when the current President took over his position, Joan Basacoma (former Vicepresident of the Catalonian Sailing Federation), the ISSA was granted some funding from the Catalonian government. The resources were devoted on a market research done in the area of the Mediterranean Sea (Croatia, Greece, Italy and Spain). The results of the research created a ground to develop an action plan for the years to follow. The action plan was elaborated on basis of the needs expressed by the surveyed schools. The action plan is being executed since 2009. The ISSA refreshed the teaching standards from the old times, completed and new quality control arrangements were introduced, instructor training programmes were launched. The instructor training programmes include very modern didactical techniques, equipping the future instructors with efficient and effective skills to convey their knowledge and skills to their students - making them satisfied and encouraging to spread the news about the very successful approach to teaching. One of the new arrangements covers „Update Training” which stands for a brief training for existing skippers to refresh or to strengthen their skills. Since 2012 The ISSA started to organise Festivals of Sails, initially in Croatia but in 2013-14 in the area of the Southern Baltic Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Sea. For over 10 years the ISSA had a status of Consultative Body at the European Council.

4 www.issa.global ISSA training system covers the following schemes: • Training for kids (dinghies and keelboats); • Training for cruising sailing yachts; • Training for cruising power yachts; • Training for professionals; • Instructor training; • Speciality courses (e.g. VHF, Radar, First Aid).

Working with the ISSA means: • Working in an international society • Using the expertise of the organisation and its members to facilitate one’s own operations; • Being promoted at international level; • Having a strong representative at national or international level; • Working together with other industry partners for the mutual benefits (schools, charter companies, insurance companies and rescue services. The ISSA is very open for cooperation with any organisation and any initiative to promote yachting or to improve the safety and teaching standards.

10 www.issa.global The offer for ISSA schools: Düesseldorf

ISSA has been present in Düsseldorf, at the world’s largest fair under the roof - about 250,000 visitors – for a couple of years now. During the fair at the beginning of 2016 we were invited to conduct a series of presentations concerning training of the instructors. Our presentations have attracted many viewers.

In 2017, the ISSA stand occupies a much larger area than Speed Sailing fot: previously. We have received an interesting offer to use more exhibition space in order to share it with our schools. Each school will have its own box of equal size. Financial conditions are also very encouraging. We invite all the polish ISSA schools that are thinking about acquiring their clients internationally. fot: Speed Sailing fot: fot: Speed Sailing fot: www.issa.global 11 GMDSS

www.issa.global 19 REFRESHER

The ISSA is to set teaching standards and to promote safe yachting. But we never forget about students of the ISSA schools. There is always a big number of individuals that still hasitate to skipper a yacht on their own even if they have gone through a comprehensive and thorough training - this is just the way they are. We respect this! Specially for you we arrange extra training: • so that you can review your skills with help of our instructors; • perfect the areas where you might feel not so good as you wished you were • to give you extra confidence

20 www.issa.global First Step

The ISSA Festivals of Sails provide an excellent opportunity for „first-time” skippers to get their own skipper experience. • Your ISSA schools can arrange a yacht for you - usually at terms better than you would get when contacting the char- ter company on your own; • ISSA coordinator (which most often would be your ISSA school instructor) will meet you every day morning for a briefing to discuss: weather conditions, the daily route and give you some hints; • You will be debriefed every afternoon/evening to learn about your good practices and to hear what could be possibly improved in your everyday routine; • There will be always somebody on a yacht nearby to help you to warn you or to advise when something unexpected appears or if you happen to have some doubts.
