1. ATHLETE PARTICIPATION PROGRAMME 2003 – ISAF YOUTH SAILING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

2003 is the second year ISAF has committed to provide funding to support the attendance of sailors at ISAF Events, with funding towards travel and entry fees provided for sailors from 12 countries at the 2003 ISAF Youth Worlds in Madeira, Portugal. The funding is aimed at sailors from those countries who have not previously participated in ISAF events, sailors from developing sailing countries and those where the financial costs make participation prohibitive.

At the close of applications on 26 March 2003, 59 applications from 22 countries had been received at the ISAF Secretariat. ISAF was overwhelmed by the response, and as result had to apply a strict criteria in order to consider the applications and filter those which would receive funding.

Of first priority were those nations who had not previously participated at the ISAF Youth Worlds, and ISAF is delighted to be funding the travel and entry fee for one sailor from each of the Cook Islands, Cyprus, Pakistan, Puerto Rico and Samoa – ensuring the inaugural appearance of these countries.

Second priority of funding went to those countries who may otherwise have been prevented from sending sailors for financial reasons, and this selection was based on the ISAF subscription category of the respective country. Applying this criteria, ISAF was pleased to confirm funding to cover 50% of the travel and entry costs of one sailor from each of Algeria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cuba, Estonia, Guam and Tahiti.

It was ISAF’s wish that the funding provided be meaningful and a significant amount be given to a few countries, rather than a small amount being given to many, hence only 12 of the 22 countries that applied received funding. However, for those countries that were granted funding, but had made multiple applications to the programme, the decision as to whether the funding provided by the Athlete Participation Programme 2003 be allocated to an individual sailor or spread across the applications made remains with the respective Member National Authority (MNA).

Coaching support will be provided to both those sailors on the Athlete Participation Programme and all sailors who are at the Youth Worlds by Jim Saltonstall. Priority is of course given to sailors who do not have coaches. Funding to send John to Madeira is kindly provided via the World Youth Sailing Trust.

2. RACING RULES OF SAILING – CREATING A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD FOR RRS 42, PROPULSION

For some time ISAF has been very concerned about the varied interpretations and enforcement of RRS 42 (Propulsion). There were a number of submissions to the 2002 ISAF Annual Conference to address various aspects of the rule; the rule itself, class rules, sailing instructions and RRS 42 judges. At the Conference in Cyprus, ISAF Council appointed a working party with representation from the classes, officials and rules committees to identify a way forward.

The working party has recommended that the first step is to level the playing field based on the current rule. This will be achieved by a number of ISAF RRS 42 interpretations to be applied worldwide and then to educate judges, sailors and coaches. The first set of interpretations are being finalised following the ISAF International Judges Conference held in Southampton on 21 – 23 March 2003. In due course these will be supported by video demonstration, clearly identifying permitted and prohibited actions.

It is planned that an ISAF RRS 42 Interpretations Booklet will be published in on 14 April 2003, which will be sent electronically to all MNAs, Classes, Judges and Umpires, in addition to being posted on the ISAF web site. It will also be available on request, to any sailor with an ISAF sailor ID. The interpretations will come into force on 26 April 2003, but any other event may adopt the interpretations before then, provided the judges brief the competitors.

This is a major initiative by ISAF to ensure a level, fair playing field for all competitors in the sport of sailing. More work will follow this first step and further progress will be announced as it unfolds.

3. ISAF CLASSIFICATION CODE – UNIVERSAL CODE CAME INTO EFFECT 1 APRIL 2003
The ISAF Classification Code, developed and refined by ISAF over the last four years as a free service, universal and international method of defining professional and amateur sailors came into force on 1 April. From 1 April onwards, any international event or class that wishes to define the status of its sailors, or limit the numbers of professionals, can use the ISAF classification code to define the limits. The Code classifies sailors into three groups depending on their financial involvement in the sport of sailboat racing. It is not based on an individuals’ racing talent, successes, or prowess.

However, to ensure a smooth transition, specifically in respect of sailors competing in the Mumm 30 and Farr 40 classes, where the sailor currently holds an unexpired classification with US Sailing that conflicts with one issued from ISAF, then the US Sailing classification will be used by these classes until the end of 2003. After the end of 2003, the Mumm 30 and Farr 40 Classes have agreed to adopt the ISAF Code in full. For sailors in these classes without a US Sailing classification, for those certifications that expire before the year end or when a sailor’s employment circumstances change, an ISAF classification will be required. Further information at http://www.sailing.org/Article_content.asp?ArticleID=4054

Work on the ISAF Sailors Classification Code started four years ago as a universal system to provide a clear distinction between the ‘professional’ and ‘amateur’ sailor. Introduced in its current form in November 2001, it exists solely as a free service to provide events and classes with an international system for classification of sailors. The Code classifies sailors into three Groups: Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3. Group status is based on financial involvement in boat racing (whether direct or indirect) and/or the use in the sailor’s work of knowledge or skill capable of improving the performance of a boat in a race. It is not based on racing success, prowess or talent. No moral or ethical judgements are attached to these classifications. ISAF does not discriminate between ‘amateurs’ and ‘professionals’. It is up to classes and regatta organisers to determine whether and how they use these classifications.

Last year, the classification code was used with great success at Ford Cork Week and events using the ISAF Classification Code in 2003 include Ford Cork Week, Swan Europeans and Admirals Cup, in particular in the IMS600 class whose rules state that fifty percent of the declared crew must be group one sailors.

So far, over 5300 sailors are classified under the ISAF Classfication Code, which is available via ISAF Sailor at www.sailing.org/isafsailor, a figure which is likely to rise extensively over the coming months. In order to make the classification process clearer to applicants, a document of frequently asked questions has been produced and is available at http://www.sailing.org/classification/classificationcasebook.pdf

6. ISAF SAILOR

With registrations to ISAF Sailor increasing day by day, the online and complimentary ISAF Sailor service is set to achieve its goal as the central resource for information on sailors and to sailors.

Launched in March 2002, ISAF Sailor provides a range of benefits, including online Competitor Classification to register to determine your amateur/professional status for those events which limit the number of professionals, Sailor Biography, Image Library, Discussion Forums, Email Services and much more. More information http://www.sailing.org/Article_content.asp?ArticleID=2001

The ISAF Sailor online Biography provides the complimentary software for sailors to update and maintain biographical information on the ISAF website, including images and sponsors’ logos, together with hotlinks to sponsors’ websites, ranked and non-ranked event results. Updated and maintained by sailors, the biographies provide an excellent resource of information, whether you be a fellow competitor or journalist writing an event report. Sailors who appear on the ISAF World Sailing Rankings will have their ranked regatta results linked to their ISAF Sailor biography, which will draw in all past results alongside their current world ranking.

Event Results can be set up to link directly back to ISAF Sailor Biographies, with further information available from www.sailing.org/webmaster

In the interests of the promotion of ISAF Sailor, and to ensure comprehensive information on sailors for certain events, it is now a requirement of ISAF Regulation 19 – Eligibility Code that sailors participating in the Olympic Regatta, ISAF Events, ISAF Graded Match Racing Events and Regional Games register to ISAF Sailor.

7. IOC APPROVES LOGO FOR 2008 OLYMPIC GAMES IN BEIJING
Young, dynamic – bringing together the historical and cultural heritage, as well as the future of China”, these were the words used by IOC President Jacques Rogge on Friday to describe the logo of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing in 2008.
The logo was officially approved by the IOC following a presentation made by a BOCOG delegation led by Mr Jiang Xiaoyu, BOCOG Vice-President, in the presence of Mr Hein Verbruggen, Chairman of the Coordination Commission for the 2008 Games.
The official unveiling of the emblem will take place in Beijing on 25 May. Details of the event will follow shortly.

The competition for the logo was launched last July in Beijing at the Olympic Design Conference. Some 2,000 entries were registered. The choice of the logo was made by a jury composed of Chinese and international design experts. For further information, please visit the 2008 Olympic Games website.

8. INTERNATIONAL OK DINGHY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP – NITIN MONGIA (IND) MAKES HISTORY
In a historic day for sailing in India, Nitin Mongia of India won the 2003 International OK dinghy World Championship with a race to spare. Nitin Mongia remained on shore on the final day on Friday, packed up his boat and left for the airport to pick up his wife who was coming down from Mumbai to be at the prizegiving. With Nitin out of the racing, the focus shifted to the battle for second and third overall between Ben Morrison from NZL and Nick Craig from GBR. Lower down the fleet there were other keen tussles to decide the minor places.

After the Principal Race Officer had postponed the start of Race 7 to 1300 to enable the competitors to pack their boats in daylight, the weather gods responded and the notoriously fickle wind started settling down from around 1100 hrs much to the delight of all concerned. The wind settled at around 5-6 knots from 230 degrees and along with the light swells, made for very interesting and challenging sailing conditions. Rudier Prinz (GER) held on to win Race 7 followed by Rob Coutts and Greg Wilcox. Ben Morrison finished 5th, enough to take 2nd overall while a disappointed Nick Craig who finished 4th had to be content with 3rd overall.
