Our sport requires so many Race Officials, Judges, volunteers, parents and staff who run our clubs, schools, camps and the thousands of races that happen in the Province. Your commitment to our sport is so vital to its growth and sustainability and we thank you for it. Game On Ontario Sailing updated our Strategic Direction in 2016 with our 2020 Vision “Ontario Sailing champions sailing for life in competitive and recreational boating” under the pillars of success to include Advocacy, High Performance, Best Practices and Education. At the same time, the Province of Ontario launched “Game On” - The Ontario Government’s Sport Plan. The plan has identified three priorities for amateur sport in this province; participation, development and excellence. Ironically, the Province’s goals fit and match those of Sailing. The goals under Participation include: All athletes are better able to participate in safe, organized sport Opportunities are available for all Ontarians to get involved in organized sport Athletes’ participation in organized sport are provided with a positive experience As part of Participation goals is a strong commitment to expand opportunities to involve more girls and women in sport The goals under Development include: Athletes receive the right support as their skills develop Athletes have access to trained coaches, officials and volunteers as they progress through the development pathway overseen by effective Provincial and National Sports The goals under Excellence include: Athletes can pursue excellence in high performance sport Athletes have competitive train and development opportunities and access to the latest high performance programs, services, facilities and technologies and are led by quality coaches, technical leaders and sport science and medicine experts So what does this mean for our member Clubs, Schools, Camps and our sailing community? Simply put … growth of our sport. All of us must start to focus on growing our sport, getting more people into our clubs and doing whatever it takes to support them on their pathway in Sailing. Ontario Sailing has programs that will help your clubs with growth within your own community. Host your own ‘Get Out on the Water’ day. Open your doors to your community and let your club shine! Call Lisa in the Ontario Sailing office to help with this … www.getoutonthewater.ca Sign up for COAST today to help increase impact on your community and the sport of sailing www.ontariosailing.ca/coast/ Host a BOOM mobile program if your club needs a jump start to setting up a sailing school. http://ontariosailing.ca/programs/boom-mobile-sailing-schools/boom-mobiles/ Run a regatta, host a camp or skills weekend. Ontario Sailing can help with resources and support in running a skills camp with one of our coaches (fee for service is required) and we have an exceptional Race Management and Judges group that can arrange to run a training course at your club. Hire only Sail Canada current certified Instructors and Coaches. These are the best people with the right skills to train youth and adults in sailboats (dinghy, keelboat), windsurfers and powerboats. continued on page 5 ….. 4 PRESIDENT AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S REPORT (...cont.) Submitted by Mark Searle, President & Glenn Lethbridge, Executive Director Host the new ‘Ontario Sailing University’ sponsored by Class Afloat. This winter program is taught by Thomas Fogh http://ontariosailing.ca/news/ontario-sailing-university-sponsored-by-class-afloat/ and is an opportunity to expand either your racing or cruising skills to get more out of your boat. Finally, support the Sailing Community! In 2016, Ontario Sailing expanded our support to LOCCA, Council of Commodores and welcomed into our membership a number of new clubs and schools. http://ontariosailing.ca/members-services/ Challenge those clubs that are not members of Ontario Sailing. Don’t race at events that are at non-member clubs as they are not entitled to use the Racing Rules of Sailing and you are not supported by the Appeals process that is a benefit to membership. Ask your own club, “What are we doing as a club to support the growth of Sailing in Ontario?” Our Staff In closing, we would like to thank our professional staff that work on your behalf to support this great sport of Sailing. Krystal Smith, Margaret Mummery, Melanie O’Brien, Cam Lymburner, Chris Hewson, Chris Cowan and Thomas Fogh and we welcomed Lisa Roddie as our Manger of COAST. We would like to thank Coach Rob Frost who moved onto the Canadian Paralympic Association and Stephanie McKenzie who ran our GOTTW program as she moves onto hopefully becoming a RCMP officer. We thank you for your efforts on behalf of Sailing. Finally, to an exceptional Board of Directors; two simple words - Thank You! You have helped Sailing to continue to be a highly regarded sport in Ontario and with our Province. See you on the water! 2016 DONOR REPORT Bill & Joanne Abbott George Jackson Ian Struthers Lynne Beal David Johnson Patrick Sturgeon Gordon Bogden Rhonda Joyce Dennis Toews Thomas Bolland Andy Kulik Anna & Bent Voetmann Michael Breen Stephen Lacey Michael & Sheena Vollmer Stuart Bruce Bruce MacGowan Linda Waddell Steven Calder Stephanie Mah Steve Wagner Andre Calla Dr. Lionel Mandell Paul Walkovich Roger Cheer Andrew McDonald John Wildman Michael Codd Dave McNabb Storey Wilkins Katie Coleman Nicoll Karen McRae Al Will Edward Graham Dougall Thomas Mitchell George Will Kirsten Fogh Pat Moffatt Paul Ziemer Morten Fogh Rob Muru David Foscarini Terry Neilson AD ASTRA Media Donald Green Volkmar Neudoerffer Fogh Sails Holding James Hansen James Rathburn Kerrwil Publications Limited Mary Henderson Ian Robertson Podium Developments Paul Henderson Evan Russell UK Sailmakers, Toronto Carrie Jackson Laurie Schroeder Parkhill 5 TREASURER’S REPORT Submitted by Tom Bolland CPA, CA, Treasurer Once again, it is my pleasure to report that Ontario Sailing received an unqualified audit report on the financial statements prepared by management and approved by the Board.

  • The International Flying Dutchman Class Book
    THE INTERNATIONAL FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK www.sailfd.org 1 2 Preface and acknowledgements for the “FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK” by Alberto Barenghi, IFDCO President The Class Book is a basic and elegant instrument to show and testify the FD history, the Class life and all the people who have contributed to the development and the promotion of the “ultimate sailing dinghy”. Its contents show the development, charm and beauty of FD sailing; with a review of events, trophies, results and the role past champions . Included are the IFDCO Foundation Rules and its byelaws which describe how the structure of the Class operate . Moreover, 2002 was the 50th Anniversary of the FD birth: 50 years of technical deve- lopment, success and fame all over the world and of Class life is a particular event. This new edition of the Class Book is a good chance to celebrate the jubilee, to represent the FD evolution and the future prospects in the third millennium. The Class Book intends to charm and induce us to know and to be involved in the Class life. Please, let me assent to remember and to express my admiration for Conrad Gulcher: if we sail, love FD and enjoyed for more than 50 years, it is because Conrad conceived such a wonderful dinghy and realized his dream, launching FD in 1952. Conrad, looked to the future with an excellent far-sightedness, conceived a “high-perfor- mance dinghy”, which still represents a model of technologic development, fashionable 3 water-line, low minimum hull weight and performance . Conrad ‘s approach to a continuing development of FD, with regard to materials, fitting and rigging evolution, was basic for the FD success.

    SPORT DISPUTE RESOLUTION CENTRE OF CANADA (SDRCC) CENTRE DE RÈGLEMENT DES DIFFÉRENDS SPORTIFS DU CANADA (CRDSC) NO: SDRCC 16‐0297 OLIVIA MEW (CLAIMANT) AND SAIL CANADA (RESPONDENT) DECISION Appearances: Jordan Goldblatt On behalf of the Claimant Olivia Mew Robert Mew Adam Klevinas On behalf of the Respondent Todd Irving (President) Phil Gow (Chair, Athlete Development Committee) Ken Dool (High Performance Coach) 1. On June 17, 2016, I was appointed by the SDRCC as an Arbitrator under section 6.8 of the Canadian Sport Dispute Resolution Code (the “Code”) to hear Olivia Mew’s request for arbitration (the “appeal”) of Sail Canada’s decision not to select her to the 2016 Canadian Olympic Sailing Team. 2. This appeal was conducted on an urgent basis by telephone conference call on June 20, 2016, with a decision to be issued by June 21, 2016, as June 22, 2016 was the last date Sail Canada had to advise World Sailing whether it would accept or turn down the additional quota spot offered for the 2016 Olympics. 3. I issued my decision to deny Ms. Mew’s appeal on June 21, 2016, with reasons to follow. These are my written reasons. 4. Although I have carefully considered all of the evidence, I will refer only briefly to much of it in this decision. BACKGROUND 5. Ms. Mew is a competitive RS:X wind‐surfer and a member of Sail Canada National Sailing Team – Development Team. 6. Sail Canada is the national governing body for the sport of sailing. Designated by the Government of Canada as a National Sport Organization representing the sport of sailing, it represents all participants, including recreational sailors and high performance athletes, at club, provincial, national and international levels.

  • The History of the Laser, Bruce Kirby and Ian Bruce
    The history of the Laser, Bruce Kirby and Ian Bruce Bruce Kirby, 87, the designer of the most popular sailing boat in history has written this piece on the early years of the Laser dinghy, after the death of his friend and Laser builder Ian Bruce. Reading this article one recalls that Kirby was a fine journalist as well as being a damn good yacht designer, with 65 boats to his credit. The long story of the wee yacht that became the Laser began when an marketing offshoot of Canada’s Hudson Bay Company asked Ian Bruce, a Montreal product developer at the time, to come up with proposals for a line of outdoor sporting equipment. Among the proposals listed as a “maybe” was a car-topper sailboat. As Ian had been building and racing my Mark III International 14 and was familiar with my earlier 14s, he called from Montreal and asked me to come up with the design of a car-topper. This was early October of 1969 and I was still editor of the old One-Design and Offshore Yachtsman magazine (now called Sailing World) and our office had just been moved from Chicago to Stamford, Ct. Ian had been told by his client that the sailboat might never become part of the package, but as we talked on the phone I was doodling ideas on a yellow legal pad. The tear sheet from this pad later became what we called the “million dollar doodle.” Off the phone I did some quick calculations for the little boat.

Once again, Atlantic Canada is proud to have so many accomplished performers representing our country in Rio. Some of these athletes live and train in the region while others have relocated to other areas of the country to pursue their goals. One thing they all share is the incredible support that they have received from their family, friends, former coaches and communities who all have played critical roles in their success. The Canadian Sport Centre Atlantic is pleased to play a role in helping these athletes reach their Olympic and Paralympic dreams. This achievement is a result of hard work on a daily basis by the athletes and coaches. Many other athletes have dedicated themselves to this goal but unfortunately did not make the Canadian team for 2016. We salute their efforts and are proud of their accomplishments at the national and international level. We are also working with many athletes who have 2018 and 2020 Olympic and Paralympic aspirations. The successes of our current athletes have paved the road for a confidence in the region’s sport community that will continue into the future.
