    “It’s Crucial to Keep Competing” – Libby Greenhalgh Libby Greenhalgh Flies the Flag for The Magenta Project at The Atlantic Cup It is the first time an all-female team have competed in The Atlantic Cup, a race described as America’s Class 40 Grand Prix! There is less than a week to go to The Atlantic Cup, a race described as America’s Class 40 Grand Prix. Britain’s Libby Greenhalgh is linking up with Canada’s Liz Shaw to compete in the first leg, 648nm from Charleston to New York onboard Oakcliff 118. Twelve yachts representing 5 countries will be on the start line and Libby and Liz are the first all-female team to take part. “It will be challenging to be racing short-handed in a demanding off-shore race against some of the top sailors in the world,” says Libby. Libby, an accomplished Volvo Ocean Race sailor; two-time British Olympic Team meteorologist; a 1720 Class European and National Champion, with a total of three transatlantics under her belt is now one of the leading forces behind The Magenta Project. The Magenta Project, is a non-profit organization that aims to advance women in professional sailing. “Our goal is to change a culture,” says Libby. “We want to increase the percentage of professional female sailors from less than 3% to 10% by 2020.” “One of the ways to do this is to showcase what can and is being achieved – both to provide role-models and to influence organisations to develop opportunities for women. That’s why it is crucial to keep competing: Yes, to improve performance; yes, to keep pushing each other – but also to show sponsors and race organisers the value of women.

  • 2011 ANNUAL REPORT Letter to Our Goals Members
    MEMBERSHIP MATTERS 2011 ANNUAL REPORT Letter to our Goals Members Dear Member, 2011 was an exceptional year for US Sailing, and we would like to start by thanking you for your ongoing support and confidence in our organization. You enable us to deliver the programs that are important to our sport, and inspire us to continually strive to improve sailors’ experiences on the water. Last year we committed to focus on the future, challenge the status quo and support the 21st century sailor by enhancing our programs, modernizing our processes and expanding support for organizations. We’ve made progress. We increased the number of Certified Instructors and Race Officials, and completely revamped the Level 1 Instructor program and student materials. We developed new services and tools to support PHRF fleets. Following the successful Yacht Club Summit, we launched a series of local conferences, and are supporting regional yacht club summits. The US Sailing Road Show stopped at 50 clubs and sailing centers, inspiring over 17,000 young sailors. We further enhanced our Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (STEM) education program in preparation for a national rollout. We extended our commitment to safety with our investigations of last summer’s sailing tragedies. Promote Participation, Education, Raise Standards and Expand Clubs across the country are reviewing these reports and recommendations, and implementing new practices to Opportunity and Safety Competitive Sailing in the US reduce accidents in the future. “SSA is proud of its long history offering world class “Some say sailing is declining. Not here. We just hosted Despite the economic challenges, 2011 was another strong year financially.
