The Heineken Regatta in Perspective 2 MARCH 3, 2020 ST. MAARTEN HEINEKEN REGATTA SPECIAL 2020 A PUBLICATION OF THE DAILY HERALD Have a blast! For many, the fi rst weekend of March means only one thing: Th e annual St. Maarten Heineken Regatta, already in its 40th edition. Th at the four-day happening has earned its stripes is an understatement. It’s become an almost irreplaceable fi xture on the calendar that it is anxiously anticipated by not just those interested in boating, but the public at large. Th is no doubt has a lot to do with the accompanying entertainment spread out over four diff erent nights featuring quality and internationally renowned musical acts. One should remember, though, that the sailing competition remains the focus, making the regatta the island’s biggest sporting event that attracts thousands of visitors from abroad. Th ese guests come to take part in and/or witness the races, but also to enjoy the parties. eTh latter are what residents tend to most identify the regatta with, helping to maintain the local support needed to ensure its existence in the long run. Th e event’s positive impact on the tourism economy also in terms of worldwide exposure cannot be denied. As a matter of fact, the local marine industry likely would not have seen the spectacular growth it has experienced without the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta. So, hats off once again to the organisers, sponsors and essential volunteers who make it all happen. We wish the yacht crews – without whom it would of course not be possible – favourable winds and friendly seas, hoping they truly have a blast on “Th e Friendly Island”.

  • 2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey
    2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey [email protected] One Design Classes and Sailor Survey One Design sailing is a critical and fundamental part of our sport. In late October 2019, US Sailing put together a survey for One Design class associations and sailors to see how we can better serve this important constituency. The survey was sent via email, as a link placed on our website and through other USSA Social media channels. The survey was sent to our US Sailing members, class associations and organizations, and made available to any constituent that noted One-Design sailing in their profile. Some interesting observations: • Answers are based on respondents’ perception of or actual experience with US Sailing. • 623 unique comments were received from survey respondents and grouped into “Response Types” for sorting purposes • When reviewing data, please note that “OTHER” Comments are as equally important as those called out in a specific area, like Insurance, Administration, etc. • The majority of respondents are currently or have been members of US Sailing for more than 5 years, and many sail in multiple One-Design classes • About 1/5 of the OD respondents serve(d) as an officer of their primary OD class; 80% were owner/drivers of their primary OD class; and more than 60% were members of their primary OD class association. • Respondents to the survey were most highly concentrated on the East and West coasts, followed by the Mid- West and Texas – though we did have representation from 42 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. • Most respondents were male.
