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.

  • IHCA Rules and Measurement Annual Report 2015
    IHCA Rules and Measurement Annual Report 2015 Another year has passed with several national and international Hansa Class events being conducted, including the Australian Hansa Class Championships, French Hansa Class Championships, New Zealand Hansa Class Championships, Italian Hansa Class Championships and European Hansa Class Championships; to name a few. At these events all boats were measured/inspected to ensure they comply with the Hansa Class rules. The Hansa Class rules are scrutinised and revised to ensure that the class remains competitive and equitable. With input from several Hansa delegates some suggestions have been forwarded to all NHCAs for discussion. The class rules are accessible on the Hansa Class web site (http://hansaclass.org/technical/). I urge all NHCA officials to impress on all sailors competing in any championship events to be compliant with the class rules. The World Hansa Championships are at Medemblik next year. Reports from the UK and Europe show that the class rules are being adhered to and met. There were only a couple of requests for additional equipment (RAE) received during the past 12 months. I hope all boats that require equipment assistance have been modified as per the RAEs. With respect to the Hansa Class rules, I believe the system in place for modifications is sound; it provides for proper overview and agreement by a number of Hansa delegates before approval is given. The competiveness of the sailors at major Hansa Class events has improved and the sailors are producing better performances from all Hansa dinghies, consequently some measurements/rules are being pushed to the limit.

  • 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.

  • 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.
