If I have to blame someone for my love of sailing, that would be my parents. They put us into aquatic sports at a very early age and were both very active in windsurfing. When I was 8 my father bought SWANY, an S&S Swan 44, built in 1973. Our family lifestyle changed completely. During this time we were known as the family that sails and races together. My father is a great sailor and has a large collection of trophies at home; this helped to build our characters with a base of determination and a spirit of constant improvement. The experiences and adventures you live with your family and friends, the people you meet along the way, the connection with nature...this put into perspective what I really wanted to keep close for the rest of my life. When I was 8, I sailed Optimist in a club close to our house and some years after, I spent summers windsurfing for fun with one of my best friends. Sailing with Swany was the best, but I didn’t really realise how good it was until I became bigger and stronger. Swany is a heavy boat and the original pieces make it even harder to sail with. Any movement, sail changes, even trimming them requires strength. What was your sailing history prior to Maiden? I started sailing Optimist when I was 8. I think it is a great way to get the basic understanding of sailing. As a teenager I was part of the crew for some local boats in Alicante. I loved spending weekends at sea. During the time I lived in Madrid, away from the sea, I travelled almost every weekend to Cadiz, southern Spain, to crew on a Grand Soleil 46, doing a lot of local races in Santa María Port. At the age of 22, I moved to Barcelona to study Electronic Arts and Digital Design. I was totally fascinated by technology and media, cinema, design, cameras and computers but mother nature was knocking at the door and I needed to find ways to balance both worlds. So while studying, I took every opportunity to jump into a boat with my camera close! When I was 24, I had the chance to work on the Medcup Circuit with the TP52 around the Mediterranean on the sponsor's boat, a Sunreef 72 catamaran, where I helped transporting to stopovers. During a race in Ibiza, the boat of King Juan Carlos, El Bribon, was hit by another boat. No one was hurt but you could hear they hit very hard. I shot the whole sequence with my camera. During the next hour the phone rang many times, the press was looking for the pictures. And at that moment I realised that making pictures at sea can not only be fun, but a great way to develop my career and do it as a lifestyle. I never thought both passions will work that well together. It has not been easy at all, but I guess when you really want something, you have to focus well, believe in yourself, treat people with respect and with determination, anything can be possible. In 2008, I had the chance to work as a local assistant for Puma Ocean Racing and fell in love with the race around the world, Volvo Ocean Race, the human factor involved, the teams, the boats, and the amazing challenge. I made the decision that I should get prepared to be one day on board as a reporter sailing around the world. I spent many years focused on sports photography and fashion and in 2014, I applied to be an Onboard Reporter for one of the teams. Sadly it didn't happen, but that application gave me the opportunity to work as a commercial photographer for the organization, a media manager and a photographer for the Boatyard, the workshop for the boats travelling the world with the fleet servicing in each stopover. I learnt a lot from that experience. When did you first hear about Maiden? During summer nights on deck of Swany in my childhood, my father used to tell us stories about iconic people, that somehow made a difference in the world, stories of the courageous, talented and brave, and Tracy Edwards was one of them. The woman who brought together the first female team to compete in the toughest race on the planet against legendary sailors. Tell us how you came to be a crew member on Maiden Magenta Project posted the alert on Facebook. I love the work they do pushing female sailors and bringing opportunities - such as this one! So The Maiden Factor were looking for a camera woman who could also sail. I sent my CV through the next morning and received a reply the same day. They were interested and Tracy Edwards will call me next week for an interview! I just couldn’t believe it. Tracy Edwards was going to call me and I was to do a trial on Maiden with her crew, to work as the media person onboard. During the interview, Tracy proposed that I join the boat from Sri Lanka to Fremantle, saying I could meet the team, the boat, the experience. And in a blink of an eye I was crossing the Indian Ocean on Maiden, and with the amazing women that sail with her. And so it happened. My three passions together, sailing, media - and on top of that, helping to change the course of the lives of thousands of girls around the world. Even being with them sailing for some days would mean the world to me! And the first leg was just the beginning of a life-changing adventure. What have you been up to since Maiden’s world tour was postponed? I spent a lot of time with my family, and once we were free to move after the quarantine, I kept sailing on Swany with my father around the Balearic Islands. I sailed for a month with my little brother, Jorge, on a Fountaine Pajot Ipanema 56 from Italy to Turkey doing a pitstop in Sicily and Greece. Also, I raced for the first time in my life in the Rolex Middle Sea Race, on the overall winner, ELUSIVE 2 and the amazing Podesta family with Maya, Chris and the rest of the crew. There was so much to learn from them. Now I am in Palma de Mallorca working more on my skipper skills. What advice would you give to anyone thinking of taking up sailing? © Leslie Richter www.rockskipper.com Sailing is a life-changing sport and a hobby that can © Leslie Richter transform your life. www.rockskipper.com You will face many challenges that may make you feel like giving up, but once achieved, you will feel much more confident, stronger and determined. Be patient and be alert. Don’t lose sight of whatever you will need before starting the trip. Always treat the sea with respect, and have respect for everyone and every role in the team. Listen to nature, and move with her. Check the weather forecast, look at the clouds, the sea state, feel the wind and adapt to it to reach your destination. Be careful, enjoy the sailing and always use sunscreen! What have you learnt from sailing? Sailing will give you amazing moments and lessons for life. It's one of the best ways to share an adventure, meet real people and make friends for life. But it can also put you in difficult situations where your worst enemy could be yourself, your fears, your anxieties and you have to manage all of this, giving your best to achieve all challenges that you face, while you keep in a team like a well-oiled machine, looking out for each others backs. I have learnt to be present and to be alert at all times. You never know what can happen and you have to be quick enough to anticipate the changes. And never give up! You will become a better person, more flexible, stronger, connected to nature. There are limitations at sea but many personal goals to achieve and sailing can transform your life for the best. What have you learnt from being on Maiden? How has Maiden impacted your life? Maiden has taught me so many things. Besides improving my sailing skills, I became much stronger in mind and body, and self-confident. I learn from all the girls and from Wendy Tuck's masterclass. But not all has been about sailing. I learnt about honesty, compassion, and how important it is to keep a good team spirit while maintaining the course to reach our main goal, making it possible to change the course of some girls' lives. And with Maiden, I experienced something wonderful. I experienced unbelievable moments and I learnt so much from them, sharing thousands of miles with amazing women. It doesn’t matter where you come from or how old you are, women together can do anything. How does being a female benefit you in sailing? Being a female brought me to the Maiden team so I am very grateful to be a female :) But I believe there are still so many barriers to break. As a female you will feel much more analyzed, and there will be more eyes looking at your work.

    SECTION VII PUBLIC ACCESS POLICIES #19-20 & RECREATION POLICIES #9, #21 & 22 Town of East Hampton LWRP Public Access and Recreation Policies #9 &19-22 A. INTRODUCTION Public access to the water and the recreation activity it affords is critical to East Hampton Town's resort economy. The tourist, second home and real estate industries stem directly from the attractions of coastal recreation, which takes place on public beaches and in public waters. Fishing, boating and the myriad of other activities are supported by an array of local enterprises, marina and charter boat operations, boat rentals, fishing tackle and sporting goods shops, which depend on the ecology, natural bounty and scenic beauty of public coastal resources. Maintaining water quality, fisheries productivity, beaches, wetlands, etc. are vital not only for the intrinsic value of the resources, but also for their ripple effect through the economy. The value of public access and coastal recreation goes beyond their economic worth -- it is the primary incentive for visiting and living in East Hampton. Coastal based recreation goes on in every reach of the Town's coastal zone, from passive, non- consumptive pastimes like photography and nature walks, to active, consumptive uses like fishing and hunting. The coast is not only a setting for active recreation, the harmony of nature and vistas of open space are themselves re-creation and relaxation for the mind, healing balm for the frenetic pace of life. The sea and its proximity, the inlets, bays, beaches and marshes attract the eye with unbroken expanses, infusing the spirit. While this LWRP section examines public access and recreational infrastructure, it is important to recall the visual and scenic context of these facilities and their tangible benefits to quality of life.

  • (ISAF) President Mr Göran Petersson and All AGM Board Members to All
    INTERNATIONAL SAILING FEDERATION (ISAF) President Mr Göran Petersson and all AGM Board Members To all Board Members present at the 2012 ISAF Annual Conference on 10.11.2012 - please distribute - Munich, 24. September 2012 Dear Sirs, Being a community of interest on behalf of windsurfing, World of Windsurfing (WOW) is very concerned about the possible dropping of windsurfing in favor of kite surfing at the Olympics in 2016, which is why we are addressing you today. World of Windsurfing e. V. (www.worldofwindsurfing.org) was founded by the most important stakeholders of the windsurfing business in January 2007 as a non-profit association under German law. The association is politically and denominationally neutral and independent from any individual interests of its members. On behalf of its members (associations, special interest media, brands, travel companies, suppliers, OEMs etc.), WOW operates internationally in the fields of market research, communication, public relations, online marketing and event management. These are WOW’s current members: Cobra International, JP-Australia, Neil Pryde, Starboard, Fanatic, North Sails, surf Magazin, surf & action company, Club Mistral and F2 Boards. WOW’s goal is to strengthen windsurfing in any possible way and to raise awareness and popularity of the sport especially amongst the non-windsurfing-community (or not-yet-windsurfing-community, as we see it). There are various reasons that speak for Windsurfing remaining an Olympic discipline. Windsurfing is an easy-access sport: for youngsters, for women, for nations with little sport promotion funds or people with no access to these. Its disappearance from the Olympic Games would be a kickback for the overall perception of sailing sports.

    GUEST: CLYDE AIKAU 1 LSS 221 (LENGTH: 26:16) FIRST AIR DATE: 5/12/09 Next, meet a surfing legend. He’s a man who grew up in a Chinese cemetery, won big time surfing contests, sailed on the Polynesian voyaging canoe Hokulea, and saved lives as a Waimea Bay lifeguard. He’s a surfing legend. He’s Clyde Aikau, Eddie Aikau’s younger brother. Aloha mai kakou, I’m Leslie Wilcox. Welcome to the first edition of a special two part series of “Long Story Short.” Many know of Eddie Aikau, a waterman who was the first lifeguard at Waimea Bay, a big wave surfer who was lost at sea while attempting to save the crew of the Hokulea in 1978. But in the world of surfing, his brother Clyde Aikau is also renowned. He has won at Makaha, at the old Duke event on the North Shore, and the Eddie Aikau at Waimea. The Duke Kahanamoku Foundation named him a “Waikiki surfing legend.” In the Spring of 2009, Clyde is 59, and he’s not slowing down. He stopped long enough to talk with me about big waves, family and living at the graveyard in Pauoa. When we um, first had the opportunity to um, have a house in the—in the graveyard, um, the deal was that we have to clean … clean the graveyard and cut the grass, and maintain the entire um, graveyard. And um, in 1959, we had to cut the grass with sickles it’s kinda like a wooden handle so far, with a— with a—with a half-moon blade.

  • Maui Monthly | Our Experience Your Reward No
    MauiOur ExperienceMonthly Your Reward no. 0. January 2006 Maui, Hawaiian Islands Great month for Windsurfing. The month of January has been a great month for windsurfing here on Maui. For me, January is the best month to be on Maui, because it is full of wind, waves, sun, and the crowds all seem to disappear. We have had countless days of Hookipa nearly vacant with perfect 6 to 0 feet waves rolling though with plenty of wind, and only a couple of people out on the water. It has been so windy that I don’t think that I have been surfing once this month and that is not bad for January. I have been able to get out on some of the new sails and they are shaping up really nicely. One of the things that I am most excited about is the new Maui Sails aluminum booms that are out. They are the best aluminum booms I have seen in a long time and I don’t say that lightly. Finally there is a boom that has an amazing front end on it with the right bend curve. Other than that I have just been enjoying Maui and hanging out with friends. See you on the water! Aloha, Kevin. Why not start the year from windsurfing? Wazup everybody! I started this year with windsurfing! On the first day of January the wind was blowing good so I thought to myself, ”why not start the year windsurfing”! And I had a great session. Soon after the wind died for a week or so, but in the mean time we have had unbelievably big waves.
