PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT From Todd Irving, President and Glenn Lethbridge, Executive Director

Ontario Sailing has once again had a very busy year this year with a substantial amount of staff transition, an increase of program capacity and the introduction of a new membership program. The Board of Directors and the Staff at Ontario Sailing have worked extremely hard to continue to serve the member clubs, schools and camps of Ontario and make sure that all of their needs are looked after.

Below are just a few highlights from different aspects from the 2007 season at Ontario Sailing.

Staff In March of this year Al Will retired from his position of Executive Director of the association after 12 years of service. The Ontario Sailing staff and Board of Directors welcomed Glenn Lethbridge to the position of Executive Director. Glenn’s experience at Buffalo Canoe Club as the General Manger and his role in running Harbour West Sailing School will be a great asset to Ontario Sailing for years to come.

Also in March of 2007, Ontario Sailing hired a Program Assistant, Eryn Sullivan to aid our Program Direc- tor in administering the Instructor Development, Officials Training, and the Training Membership programs. Eryn’s experience in running LTS programs at member clubs and her Instructor Evaluator experience will be a great asset to Ontario Sailing’s staff team.

Eric Cartlidge, Program Director, continues to run quality programs and has taken on new areas of programming this past year, including Instructor Development. Under his direction, the BOOM Program grew substantially in 2007. See the BOOM Program report for further information. Eric has been invalu- able in the transition and training of the new staff!

Shauna Cartlidge gave birth to Rachel Cartlidge on July 27th, 2007. Mom, Dad, and baby are all doing great! To cover Shauna’s responsibilities while she is on maternity leave Ontario Sailing hired Brenda Ferguson. Brenda comes to us with a great deal of experience in office administration and organization.

Amy Goman, the Ontario Sailing Provincial Coach, has left Ontario Sailing after almost 4 years of em- ployment to pursue other coaching opportunities. Her coaching talents and her skills organizing the Ontario Sailing Team will be missed.

Margaret Mummery continues to offer the best customer service to our clubs and instructors with book orders and registrations. Margaret has helped very much in the transition and training of all the new staff including the Executive Director!

BOOM Program The Ontario Sailing BOOM Program has had another outstanding year. With a lot of help from the On- tario Trillium Foundation, Fogh Marine and Vanguard Sailboats, the BOOM Program trained over 650 participants and visited 28 different sites. A record for both! We look forward to continuing the success of the program far into the future.

Accessible Sailing Ontario Sailing is proud to report that there are 20 Accessible Sailing Programs across Ontario who facilitate sailing opportunities for people with disabilities. In addition, a number of our member clubs are making modifications to their club facilities in order to make their clubs more accessible. The Access BOOM program once again a had a very successful year running 6 weeks of programming and training 60+ sailors.

Instructor Development This year Ontario Sailing teamed up with 14 different member clubs and schools to help run the instructor development programs. Welcoming 3 new Instructor Evaluators to the ranks, Ontario Sailing ran a very effective instructor development program this year training over 300 candidates in a variety of clinics. The break down is as follows: 4

Racing The Youth Worlds, the Youth Nationals, the National Qualifiers and the Inaugural World Access Champi- onship were all held in Ontario which allowed many Ontario able-bodied and accessible sailors to participate in highly competitive regattas. Ontario Sailing had some great highlights on the racing scene this year. They include: Ontario Sailing initiated a Provincial racing series to determine the best sailors and best race teams in Ontario Robert Davis, an Ontario Sailing Team member, placed 14th in the Volvo Youth Worlds in the Laser Class, and 3rd in the Youth Nationals. Robert also qualified for next years’ Youth World’s being held in Denmark. Peter Soosalu and his partner Nicholas Kroeger place 21st at the Volvo Youth Worlds in the 29er Class and Alanna Foscarini and her partner Alison Ludzki placed 13th at the Volvo Youth Worlds in the 29er Class 3 accessible sailors from the Ontario Sailing Team competed in the IFDS World Championships held in Rochester, New York putting together some impressive results. The Ontario Quest for Gold Lottery was able to fund 8 able-bodied sailors and 2 accessible sailors with approximately $8,000 each to allow the athletes to afford the travel, accommodations fees of a sailing season

Ontario Sailing looks on building on the accomplishments of 2007 into 2008 and far in to the future with improved service in our programs, improved access to coaching and training for our athletes, improved services to our members and better promotion of the sport of sailing to all populations in On- tario and in Canada.

Joining CYA On behalf of our member Clubs, Board of Directors and Staff may we thank Todd Irving and Kim Foley for all their dedication and leadership to Ontario Sailing over the past years. Both Todd and Kim have joined the Board of Directors at CYA and will be serving the sailors of Canada in this very important role.

Todd has served as President of Ontario Sailing for three years, and before that as Vice President. Todd has brought his leadership and love of sailing to his role helping us to rebrand Ontario Sailing and launch three new websites.

Kim has served Ontario Sailing on the Instructor Development portfolio. Kim has been a valued voice in helping focus our Instructor programs while preparing for the change to CBET.

Thanks Todd and Kim!

TREASURER’S REPORT From Erin Sinyard, Treasurer

The year ended March 31, 2007 and was a challenging one from a financial perspective. Overall, On- tario Sailing recorded a deficit of $25K for the year. Revenues of $889K were $46K less than revenues in the prior year. The biggest change in revenue was related to government funding where we saw a decrease of $57K. Of the $57K, we had anticipated the $20K decrease in Active 2010 funding and had incorporated this in the 2007 budget. Unfortunately, we also received $37K less in base funding. This decrease was unexpected. These monies were received in August 2006 and despite best efforts to reduce costs throughout the remainder of the fiscal period we were unable to recover from this shortfall. Much effort is put into the budgeting and planning process to ensure that Ontario Sailing does not experience significant deficit. The shortfall in the current year reflects an unusual situation but does highlight the risks associated with having the majority of the Association’s revenue coming from one source. We will continue to look at the various funding opportunities available to us with an aim to minimize the dependence on any one revenue source. It is also important that we continually assess the programs and services we deliver to ensure that we are offering value and that the fees charged to participants and our member clubs, etc. reflect the value that is being delivered.

I am pleased to say that our auditors received the full cooperation of management and staff and that once again we received a clean audit opinion.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the management, staff and volunteers of Ontario Sailing as well as all of our funders. We are grateful for their contributions and look forward to their continued support.

FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE REPORT From Craig Pattinson, Chairperson

Ontario Sailing has continued with our traditional fundraising activities over the last year to ensure that we can continue to develop and deliver programs that foster interest in sailing and promote and encourage proficiency in the sport, particularly among young people.

The annual operation of Ontario Sailing relies on a number of levels of external funding which are:

Government Corporate Individual Event based

It is through generous support from all these funding groups that we are able to develop and grow our wide range of programming. Government funding still remains our core funding source. This year we have seen some very positive support from our corporate sponsors. We recently held our Second An- nual Sponsor Appreciation Luncheon at the National Yacht Club which was attended by a great many of our long standing commercial sponsors as well as government representatives. In addition, there are a number of corporate sponsorship successes which deserve highlighting:

• HKMB Insurance has once again agreed to be our title sponsor for Celebration of Sailing. • Fogh Marine and Vanguard Sailboats have both sponsored the BOOM Program and our Training/ Participation Member Program • Angus Yachts Sail & Power continue to sponsor the Learn to Cruise Student Registration program and has sponsored our Training/Participation Member Program.

FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE REPORT (cont’d) From Craig Pattinson, Chairperson

A number of the programs offered by Ontario Sailing, such as the BOOM Program, the Ontario Sailing Team, the Training/Participation Member Program and the Learn To Cruise Student Registration Pro- gram have program sponsors. The companies that sponsor these programs understand the impor- tance of supporting Ontario Sailing in its efforts to promote sailing at all levels in the Province. Without these sponsors, many of the programs we offer may not be able to operate at full capacity. We are grateful for the continued support these companies provide.

Through the individual donor campaign, we target users of the organization including Race Officials, Instructors, Athletes, Boom participants and Learn to Cruise students. We believe that the individuals who have been involved with Ontario Sailing over the years and have benefited from Ontario Sailing’s programs will take this opportunity to give something back and offer continued support to Ontario Sail- ing. The individual donor campaign takes place during the fall each year. In 2006-2007 we raised $4,894.00 in the individual donor campaign. We revised our approach this year and in addition to sending out letters we distributed an e-mail request to select individuals as well as installing a button on the Ontario Sailing web site which allows supporters to donate on-line. We are optimistic that the annual donor campaign will bring in slightly more than last year.

We are extremely pleased that the Ontario Sailing Able Sail program has been selected for the 9th year in a row as one of the organizations to benefit from the NMMA’s Boating for Children’s Charity event to be held at the Toronto International Boat Show on January 11, 2008. We are grateful for their continued support!

Last year, our Celebration of Sailing fundraising evening, which honoured our High Performance Sailors, was once again a huge success. We believe that investing in the future of sailing through the Ontario Sailing Team is aligned with our goal of building the sport more broadly in the long term and, as a result, going forward the Youth Team will be the focus of this annual fundraiser. Our plan is to grow this event with the help of the team and their parents to include a broader base of supporters, which will deliver increased financial support for a very worthy program. We will be hosting the event at the Boulevard Club on March 1, 2008 which will allow us to expand the nature and scale of the event. I encourage you to contact Brenda Ferguson at [email protected] to find out more or to purchase tickets for this year’s event.

Many of our member clubs have stocked our private label wine ‘Regatta’ in their clubs and the wine has been featured at many different events throughout the year. It is available for purchase from Pe- lee Island Winery by contacting Darryl MacMillan at [email protected]. Ontario Sailing benefits from every bottle sold and this year, we are continuing to work on getting this wine into our member clubs. It is a great opportunity to support Ontario Sailing.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff at Ontario Sailing and all of the volunteers for their efforts this past year. Brenda Ferguson is covering Shauna Cartlidge, who is away on maternity leave following the birth of a healthy girl, Rachel, in July. Brenda has done an excellent job in assuming her responsibilities and taking steps to support the ongoing success of Ontario Sailing in the area of fundraising. Fundraising requires a considerable amount of staff and volunteer time and we are fortunate to have dedicated staff and volunteers to assist us in our efforts. In addition, to the individuals and cor- porations that continue to support Ontario Sailing and its initiatives..…. a big THANK YOU!

APPEALS COMMITTEE REPORT From Andrew Alberti, Chairperson

The Ontario Sailing Appeals Committee’s job is to answer appeals submitted by competitors who have been party to a protest hearing and are unsatisfied with the decision of the Protest Committee. Ap- peals can only be submitted by parties to the protest hearing and usually claim there was an incorrect rule interpretation or conclusion, or a procedural mistake by the Protest Committee. Some appeals at- tempt to appeal the facts found which, according to the Racing Rules of Sailing, may not be appealed. The Appeals Committee also responds to requests from protest committees for confirmation or correction of its decision when it is uncertain it came to the correct decision.

The procedures to file an appeal were changed slightly this year when the CYA changed their pre- scription to the Racing Rules of Sailing at the request of ISAF. Appeals are now filed with the CYA and then delegated to the provincial associations if appropriate, rather than the previous procedure of fil- ing directly with the provincial association. This change slowed things down slightly but otherwise the procedure has been running fairly well.

In 2007 the Appeals Committee dealt with six appeals down from 10 in 2006. One 2007 appeal was further appealed to the CYA Appeals Committee and the Ontario Sailing decision was upheld. One 2006 decision was finally settled this year, after an appeal to the CYA and a rehearing.

A few of the appeals referred to protests where a member of our committee was a member of the original protest committee. The Racing Rules of Sailing prohibit the involvement of such a member in any appeal. Fortunately we have the depth on the committee to handle the appeal without the involvement of that particular member.

We continued our practice from last year of handling as much of the appeal process as possible elec- tronically. To make sure that the parties receive the final decision, a hardcopy is sent via regular mail as well. I want to take this opportunity to thank Eryn Sullivan for all of her efforts processing the appeals for us.

Part way through the year, I had to reluctantly accept the resignation of one of our longest standing Appeal Committee members. Dr. Andrew Wardle, IJ/IU, has been a very valuable member our committee. Unfortunately new responsibilities at work have forced him to cut back his involvement in our process. We all want to thank Andy for his efforts and value his contributions over the years. We will be announcing a replacement for Andy soon.

We have an excellent group of experienced judges on the Ontario Sailing Appeals Committee and great Ontario Sailing staff and I thank them all on your behalf. The members of the committee are:

Alex J. McAuley, RHYC – IJ/SNU; Kathy Dyer, RHYC – IJ; Dr. Mel Preston, RHYC- – SNJ; Peter Wood, BYC, – SNJ; Andrew Alberti, RCYC – SNJ/SNU – Chairman Committee; Eryn Sullivan, Ontario Sailing Appeals Coordinator

RECREATION

LEARN TO CRUISE and POWER COMMITTEE REPORT From Craig Pattinson, Chairperson and Eric Cartlidge, Program Director

In 2007 the committee focused on creating an editable version of our training materials which reflect up to date information. This has been a time consuming task and continues to take up significant effort from volunteers. We are appreciative of their ongoing effort and promise further materials in the New Year.

Ontario Learn To Cruise Instructors: This year we once again experienced a reduction in the total number of instructors trained in the province, although the number of Basic Cruising Instructors stabilised. The number of Basic Power instructors drove the reduction in numbers on prior years but this is not unusual in the traditionally cyclical profile of instructor training. It is critical that we maintain a constant flow of new instructors in order to build the pool and to ensure that we are accessing new ideas and new experiences through new people.

26 31 43 Ontario Learn To Cruise Student Registrations: In the fifth year of the Student Registration Program, the overall participation numbers were very similar to last year with a small reduction of 24 students overall. For the breakdown of participants please see our full Annual Report on our website, OntarioSailing.ca.

Basic Cruising numbers continued to increase although the pace of growth slowed. Coastal Naviga- tion and Basic Power reflected disappointing performance as they both fell significantly although both of these categories tend to be variable as past years performance reflects.

Angus Yachts of Toronto were once again kind sponsors of the Learn to Cruise Student Registration Pro- gram and we look forward to continued participation in 2008.

This will be my last report as Chair of the Learn to Cruise Committee. I have enjoyed my time in the role in large part due to the support provided by Jamie Gordon as Vice Chair. Jamie has agreed to as- sume the responsibility of Chair once again and I believe that this will be great for the committee as he brings his experience and enthusiasm to complement the efforts of some newer and increasingly active members of the committee. I wish Jamie the best of luck as he moves forward in this role. Eric continues to bring great passion as the Ontario Sailing representative and I am sure he will help to move the program forward. We are fortunate to work with such a dedicated and friendly staff.

Fair Winds and Great Sailing

ABLE SAIL REPORT From Keith Hobbs, Chairperson and Eric Cartlidge, Program Director

Ontario Sailing has several initiatives to increase the level of accessible sailing in Ontario. Through our programs, and use of special equipment, people of all ages and with all types of disabilities can experience the joy of sailing.

Able Sail Ontario The Clubs that offer Able Sail programs across the province and Ontario Sailing have formed a provincial Able Sail collaboration called Able Sail Ontario. The clubs represented in this collaboration, along with Ontario Sailing, will share resources, information and promote events with the goal of increasing the number of sailors with disabilities in Ontario. In addition the Ontario Sailing Able Sail Committee was established to help with able sail initiatives across the province.

Access BOOM The Access BOOM mobile is a traveling sailing school that journeys to different communities with two CYA Certified instructors, 4 Accessible Sailboats, a coach boat, and teaching aids to teach sailing to people with disabilities. The specially designed Access Dinghy makes it possible for people with a variety of disabilities to sail independently. The Access BOOM program was created in 2000 to give children with disabilities a new recreational activity to enjoy in the summer, but we do have some adult participants in this program as well. In 2007 approximately 50 participants experienced the thrill of sailing through this program. We ran 5 weeks of this program and one week of evening classes.

A special thanks goes out to Sebastian Major and Alex Bogusat who taught the Access BOOM Program this summer.

Able Sail Demonstration The purpose of this mobile is to increase both club and individual awareness of sailing opportunities for people with disabilities. In 2007 we promoted sailing opportunities for people with disabilities through Boat Shows, our Annual Training Workshop, and Club Open Houses.

Program Development Ontario Sailing works with volunteers from various clubs across Ontario to help them start and run sailing programs for people with disabilities. Over the course of the last few years we have helped clubs and schools develop accessible sailing programs that meet the needs of their specific club. Ontario Sailing has helped with things such as specific programming issues, the acquisitions of equipment and aid for applying for financial grants. This year, Ontario Sailing ran 2 Able Sail Volunteer workshops. Both the Kingston and Whitby workshops were well received and plans for next year’s workshops are already in the works.

In addition, Ontario Sailing aided in the development of Lake Joseph Yacht Club’s Blind Sailing Initiative which helps clients from the CNIB to get certified in the CYA White Sail Program. This brings the total of Accessible Sailing programs in Ontario to 20, which is more than any other province in the country!

Ontario Sailing was also able to help facilitate, in partnership with the Blind Sailing Association of Can- ada (BSAC), another Blind Basic Cruising course offered to the participants at the BSAC. We hope to build on this initiative.

Ontario Sailing also ran a staff development workshop for the sailing staff at the Rotary, YMCA, Tennis and Aquatic Club (RYTAC) in Sault Ste. Marie where we trained their staff in disability awareness and teaching techniques as well as how to use and rig access dinghies.

Boat Loan/Lease Program Ontario Sailing owns several accessible sailboats that we loan/lease to clubs and sailing schools that want to provide sailing opportunities for people with disabilities. Our Boat Loan/Lease Program is an important part of Program Development. 22

ABLE SAIL REPORT (cont’d) From Keith Hobbs, Chairperson and Eric Cartlidge, Program Director

Loaning or leasing boats from Ontario Sailing allows clubs to open their doors to people with disabilities, with minimal resources. This season Ontario Sailing loaned out 2 Martin 16’s and 4 Access Dinghies to 4 different sites.

Competitive Sailing In 2007 several clubs hosted regattas for sailors with disabilities. Our athletes with a disability competed at the following regattas: Skippers’ Plan Cup, the National Capital Cup, the Coupe de Quebec, LYRA, the Mobility Cup, the Canadian Access Dinghy Regatta, the inaugural World Access Championships, the IFDS Championships and CORK, just to name a few.

This summer Martin 16 sailors had the opportunity to participate in an excellent training camp in King- ston before the CORK Regatta and our Blind Sailors reaped the benefits of training with Ontario Sailing’s Provincial Able Sail Coach, Sarah Urquhart.

In addition, under the direct supervision of our Provincial Coach, the Athletes with a disability on our provincial team put up some great results and competed in some high calibre regattas.

Special thanks go out to Whitby Yacht Club for running the inaugural Access World Championships. It was a great regatta, thoroughly enjoyed by international competitors, coaches, volunteers and all those involved.

It was a great year for athletes with a disability in Ontario Sailing and I hope that in 2008 we are able to build on our accomplishments from 2007.

AbleSailOntario.ca AbleSailOntario.ca was created to help people with disabilities find information on how to get into the sport of sailing as well as where accessible sailing programs are located and the equipment that is used. Check it out!

WOMEN SAILORS’ ASSOCIATION REPORT From Margaret Betts, President

The Women Sailors’ Association is a network through which women can learn and participate in all aspects of sailing. And how is this achieved? During the off season, October to early May, regular monthly dinner meetings with guest speakers are held and, commencing May to mid September, on the water activities take place.

Just prior to the racing season an evening is devoted to a race training session including an in-depth review of the racing rules.

During the 2007 season, in addition to the Women’s Monday Night Racing Series organized under the National Yacht Club umbrella, the Toronto Area Women’s Keelboat (T.A.W.K.) Series, an Ontario Sailing sanctioned event of 4 races, ran concurrently with the Women’s Monday Night Racing series and was scored separately.

In August, National Yacht Club hosted the very successful Ontario Women’s Keelboat Championships. Thirteen boats from 6 clubs participated. The first two races were run under ideal conditions, a third was cancelled when a storm blew in. Trophies sponsored by Genco were presented to the winners of the Flying Sails and White Sail divisions.

The 2008 Ontario Women’s Keelboat Championship is scheduled to take place in August at the Lake- shore Yacht Club. All women from Ontario are welcome to participate. There are no qualifying re- quirements for this event.

In addition to summer and winter activities, the WSA also provides sponsorship – the Women Sailor’s Association Award which is awarded to the Ontario Sailing Female Junior Sailor of the Year.

Our thanks to Ontario Sailing for their ongoing support and contribution to WSA's successful year.

Congratulations to the 3 new Instructor Evaluators trained at the annual clinic in the spring, Kate MacLennan, Chase Miller and Michael Egberts.

The Instructor clinic schedule and registration form will be available on our website, www.ontariosailing.ca in January. We will continue to promote and use our online registration system, which was once again a great success!

Instructors, please make sure your pre-requisites are up to date prior to your clinic to ensure proper certification prior to the start of the sailing season. All instructors must pay their annual CYA dues, plus com- plete all necessary pre-requisites before they are fully certified. Annual dues are valid from January 1st – December 31st and are due each year.

BOOM PROGRAM REPORT From Eric Cartlidge, Program Director

2007 was a record setting year for the BOOM Program. This year 658 people participated in a BOOM Mobile, which is more participants than we have ever had before. Ontario Sailing operated 5 mobiles this summer, 3 that offered BOOM, one that offered Access BOOM and one that offered our Instructor only mobile. With our 5 mobiles we visited 28 different sites for 1, 2 or 3 weeks at a time.

This year, because of gracious donations from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Fogh Marine and Van- guard Sailboats, we were able to launch an entirely new mobile which allowed us to add 8 more weeks to our program totaling 40 weeks of programming.

Mobiles – The BOOM program this year visited a record number of sites and trained a record number of people. This shows that the demand for the program remains high and along with this record number of hosts we still had a few on the waiting list. There were once again programs that offered a variety of programming options to the BOOM participants. Some offered full day programming while others offered half day programming, 1, 2 or 3 weeks in length.

Of the 28 sites visited, 7 of them had never hosted the BOOM program before and 21 were repeat cus- tomers, showing that the program is still growing and reaching across the province and at the same time leaving a lasting impression for repeat clientele. The 2007 registration process saw the BOOM Program sell out by the beginning of December and the Access BOOM by the end of February, once again reiterating the demand for the program.

Equipment - Because of the gracious donations given to Ontario Sailing by the Ontario Trillium Founda- tion, Fogh Marine and Vanguard Sailboats we were able to purchase 8 new Laser Picos and a new coach boat bringing our fleet up to 24 Picos, 4 Access Dinghies and 5 Coach Boats.

Participants – This year all the mobiles ran for the full eight weeks. The program ran from 9:00am - 4:00pm Monday to Friday. Once again the adult evening classes, running from 6:00pm – 9:00pm, were a huge success attracting more than 100 participants.

Thank you to all the wonderful instructors who taught BOOM and Access BOOM Programs this summer. Orest Werbowy, Emily Cohen-Gallant, John El-Raheb, Stephen Wilding, Zoe Evans, Jessica Cole, Sebas- tian Major, Alex Bogusat, Scott Thompson, Karen Norton All of the BOOM Mobiles were once again well received by our host sites, and we have already sold out for 2008. Hosts and participants can’t wait until next summer!

RACE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT From John Weakley, Chairperson

The role of the Race Management Committee is to train and certify Assistant and Club Race Officers in the province – (National and Senior National Race Officers are trained and certified by CYA). The training is accomplished through Race Management Seminars held at member clubs, usually through the winter months, as well as through a formal Mentoring Program.

2007 was probably the busiest year Ontario Sailing has ever had when it came to conducting Race Management Seminars. Consider the following:

12 Race Management Seminars held at 11 different clubs. 131 Race Officers certified, plus 14 re-certified. 3 Mark Set Courses conducted with 19 participants.

The Mentoring Program provided four Club Race Officers with the experience of conducting national level competitions at the Canadian Youth Championship held at Royal Hamilton Yacht Club.

All of this could not be accomplished without the efforts of the following: Ross Cameron Graham Dougall Pat Lymburner Don MacIntyre Irene McNeill David Searle Mark Searle David Sprague Jake Starr Bill Visser

ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT From Tim Bishop, Chairperson and Glenn Lethbridge, Executive Director The Youth Worlds, the Youth Nationals, the National Qualifiers and the Inaugural World Access Championship were all held in Ontario this year which allowed many Ontario able-bodied and accessible sailors to participate in highly competitive regattas.

Ontario Sailing had some great highlights on the racing scene this year. They include: • Ontario Sailing initiated a Provincial racing series to determine the best sailors and best race teams in Ontario • J24 Team of Rossi Milev, Mike Wolfs, Mark Goodyear, and Erwyn Naidoo took home a well earned Bronze Medal at the Pan-American games in Rio De Janeiro Brazil • Robert Davis, an Ontario Sailing Team member, placed 14th in the Volvo Youth Worlds in the Laser Class, and 3rd in the Youth Nationals. Robert also qualified for next years’ Youth World’s being held in Denmark. • Peter Soosalu and his partner Nicholas Kroeger placed 21st at the Volvo Youth Worlds in the 29er Class and Alanna Foscarini and her partner Alison Ludzki placed 13th at the Volvo Youth Worlds in the 29er Class. • 3 accessible sailors from the Ontario Sailing Team competed in the IFDS World Championships held in Rochester, New York putting together some impressive results. • Lee Parkhill and Evan Lewis finished 4th and 5th, respectively, at the Laser NA’s • Ontario athletes are competing for final selection for the 2008 Olympic Games • http://www.sailing.ca/cst/index.asp follow this link to the most up to date information regarding our National Team Sailors going for Gold.

The Ontario Quest for Gold Lottery was able to fund 8 able-bodied sailors and 2 accessible sailors with approximately $8,000 each to allow the athletes to afford the travel, accommodations and fees of a sailing season. Members of the National Sailing Team were also given top up grants directly from the Quest for Gold Lottery. This year’s recipients were: Paul Brikis Evan Lewis Sarah Bury Ingrid Merry Robert Davis Lee Parkhill Martha Henderson Joanne Prokop Audrey Kobayashi Richard Watters

Coaching Ontario Sailing was well served by our coaching staff this past year. Amy Goman worked with both our able-bodied and accessible sailors at many events, camps and individual training opportunities. After the summer Amy decided to move on to other opportunities and Ontario Sailing and the athletes thank her for four years of dedicated service.

During the summer we were able to hire Matt Dubreucq as a Double-Handed coach for the Ontario Sailing Team in preparation for the Canada Summer Games in 2009. Matt brought a high level of boat knowledge and energy to his role with us. Matt has agreed to stay on as our new High Performance Co- Coordinator as we develop our new Regional and Development Training Centers.

Sarah Urquhart continues to work with our Paralympic athletes while working towards her Level 4 coaching level at the National Coaching Institute Toronto.

Ontario Sailing Title Events Series Thanks to the extra efforts of David Lewis and the Regatta Management Committee, Ontario Sailing expanded our Title Events in a series. With well over 1000 participants, this first year of the series was a resounding success. The top sailors will be awarded plaques at the AGM being held at the Toronto Boat Show. http://www.ontariosailing.ca/news/news_427.php this link will take you to the final results for the Series.

ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT (cont’d) From Tim Bishop, Chairperson and Glenn Lethbridge, Executive Director

Regional and Development Training Centers In November 2007 the Ontario Sailing Board voted to move forward with an exciting new way of supporting our present and future athletes in Ontario. With an eye to building the next Olympic sailors, 3-4 Regional Training Centers will be set up in key locations of Ontario. These centers will be supported by Ontario Sailing and will work towards the hiring of year round coaches. The centers will support athletes on year round basis including winter training events in Florida. The Ontario Sailing Team will sail from these centers, including the new QFG Elite Team. These centers will support sailors in the Laser, Laser Radial, 29er and, where applicable, the 49er classes (in addition to other boats suited to their facilities). Eight to ten Development Centers will also be supported where the Ontario Sailing Development Team will train from. These centers will work to develop sailors in the Optimist, 420, Byte, Laser, Laser Radial and 29er classes. This year’s centers will be announced at the Ontario Sailing Annual General Meeting.

Thank You After many years on the Board, Tim Bishop has decided to step down from his role as VP. Tim has helped Ontario Sailing develop a stronger athlete development program and his background as a very successful high level coach has been an asset to the athletes, coaches and Board of Ontario Sail- ing. We hope Tim will not be going too far away as his expertise will be welcome by the next VP, Cam Watt. Thanks to the members of the Athlete Development Committee, including Tim Bishop, Lynne Beal, Marianne Davis, Ron Kobrick, Corey Lynam, Lee Parkhill, Evan Lewis, and Cam Watt. We encourage you to visit http://www.ontariosailing.ca/Racing/index.php to view results and locations of regattas and events. We ask clubs to send in your regatta information and results as soon as you have them available.

We thank all the host clubs for our title events, camps and regattas. As always our programs would not be successful without the assistance of parents, relatives and supporters of our athletes and coaches.

REGATTA MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT From Irene McNeill, Chairperson

The committee had two formal meetings (March and November) and a Focus Group Meeting (May) in its second year of operation, with the Strategic Plan for the Committee formalized at the 2007 Ontario Sailing (OS) Annual General Meeting.

Results of the on-line regatta surveys were discussed at the March meeting. Although not widely used, the committee felt that there was merit in the program. Further refinements to the website system to increase survey return were discussed. The committee continued to endorse the on-line regatta registration system.

Early in the year, the committee was asked to review the OS Title Event Series. In previous years, the Title Events have only had one event for each age group (13 and under, 16 and under, 18 and under and 23 and under). Included in the concerns were:

-Winner for the year in each age category was declared by their performance in one regatta only. -Fleets were limited to Byte, Byte CII, Radial, Laser, 420 and 29er. -Limited number of yacht/sailing clubs throughout the province capable of hosting events attended by a large number of competitors. -Scheduling of events limited to only a few weekend dates.

A Focus Group Meeting of stake holders (coaches, parents, race officials and junior sail directors) was held in May to discuss the Title Event Series. A number of issues were identified. After discussion by the Committee, it was proposed to the OS Board that the ‘stand alone’ Title events become a series. On June 21, 2007, the Ontario Sailing Title Events Series Championship was announced on the Ontario Sail- ing website. The Notice of Race named 4 regattas whose results from 3 of the 4 regattas would be used to calculate the overall winners in each of the three age categories. The Series Championship Awards will be presented at the Ontario Sailing Annual General Meeting in January, 2008.

The November meeting of the Committee reviewed the successes of the 2007 Series and examined ways to improve it. Discussions to date include: how other classes (e.g. Optimist dinghy, RS:X, Hobie 16) may be incorporated in the Series; adjusting the ages categories to reflect skill levels and include competition opportunities for collegiate racers in the Series; expanding the Series to 5 regattas with the overall score taken from the best results in 3 of the 5 regattas awards; how awards would be deter- mined; publicizing the Series to increase participation and how competitors may be encouraged to register for the Series utilizing the Ontario Sailing on-line registration system.

The Committee will continue to work with host clubs of OS Series Events and provide consultation, support, contacts and general assistance in the planning, organization and implementation of the event, as requested. The committee will also continue to work with host clubs to train club members by pro- viding race management and judge seminars as required.
