2007 REPORT TO MEMBERS meet your olympic and paralympic teams. letter to our members

Dear Member, Thanks to our passionate members, volunteers, and Board of Directors, we are sailing as a team toward our upwind mark: to provide leadership for the sport of sailing in the . We are heading on a course to offer greater support for our members and our sport. We take this very seriously, knowing whatever value we create is magnified several times over by US SAILING’s numerous dedicated volunteers. US SAILING ended Fiscal Year 2007 with strong financial results: an operating surplus, record giving to our Annual Appeal, and no debt. After three years of steadily improving financial results, we can now focus with a greater emphasis on the future of our sport. US SAILING’s number of certifications issued for instructors, race officials, and offshore boat ratings continues to grow. Participation in US SAILING’s 18 Championships and over 20 Junior Olympic programs is at record levels. This winter, you will receive US SAILING’s 2009-2012 Rule Book which ensures a level playing field throughout our sport in the U.S. Due to the success of our 2007 Annual Appeal, over sixty $250-$500 “Sailorships” will be awarded to youth sailors in 2008 to provide financial assistance to attend US SAILING Championships. Five additional $1,000 “Sailorships” will be awarded to youth sailors to compete at the 2008 Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championships in Arhus, Denmark. The Olympic Program, which is financed independently of any US SAILING membership revenues, is in a strong cash position for the 2008 Olympics. Thanks to the support from our sponsors and Medalist donors, the Team is well prepared to represent us at the Olympic and Paralympic Games in . We are very proud of our Team; they represent a true cross-section of US SAILING Members. Comprised of men and women ranging in age from 20 to 58, from 10 different states, both able-bodied and disabled, most have participated in and benefited from US SAILING Championships. We thank you for your continued support and we know that you join us in wishing our Team height, speed, favorable wind shifts, and good luck in Qingdao!

Sailing fast and smart around the race course won’t be the only challenge facing the US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics in Qingdao. Difficult sailing conditions as well as cultural and language barriers will also factor into their performance. Qingdao, ’s fourth largest international seaport located at the southern tip of the Shandong Peninsula, was first established in 1891. The birthplace of Taoism and home to the world-renowned Tsingtao Brewery, Qingdao is an urban area populated by more than seven million inhabitants. Located approximately 342 miles southeast of Bejing, Qingdao is bordered by mountains to the west and 450 miles of Yellow Sea coastline to the east. A major shipping company was relocated to facilitate the construction of the Olympic Sailing Venue at Fushan Bay near the city’s political, cultural and commercial center. Sailing conditions will feature light and fluky winds, strong tidal currents and rolling seas. These conditions are anticipated to force numerous postponements during the competitions, which will surely test our athletes’ patience and perseverance.
