Sailor’s Representative Report Bryony Shaw (GBR) Sailor’s Representative 18
Sailor’s Representative Report • So we are here on our ROAD TO TOKYO… • I am proud to still be the athletes representative since 2013 and with my experience at three Olympic Games I feel I can see the RS:X class from INSIDE and from the OUTSIDE. • World Sailing can give us direction, sometimes in ways we understand and sometimes not! The media can tell us we have great colors and a great athletic spectacle, but also that we must update ourselves… • From INSIDE our sport it’s important there is world class durability and consistency with the equipment. Of course we all feel it is vital that the outcome of the regatta produces a fair winner. We love to see new faces on the starting line & respect the veterans, also some with children! We are passionate about our sport and its position as a great game for entertainment & development, so we want to see it expand and grow as we know it can. • I can also see from OUTSIDE, our sport is one of the more hidden disciplines, so we must continue expanding the connection to our fan bases & media outlets. Our colors & personalities can help us pop-up out of the shadows, but we must keep pushing & climbing as other sports do around us. We want to find a way of sharing these fantastic experiences & sensations we have with the rest of the planet and become the showcase we know we can be. • But how does this look from all perspectives? INSIDE & OUT? What is the vision we want to create for ourselves? • My view is that we have made some great updates with the colors again, so thank you to Neilpryde for the new bright desirable RS:X EVO!! It is also my view that we are going in the right direction with the fins… Now I know that this is a contentious issue because of production delays, but my feedback from the few sailors who have experienced the fins is that they are an upgrade compared to the white fins. In the light of a windsurfing industry that struggles to understand what “One Design” really means, do we want to risk our consistency & tolerances with an alternative manufacturer? My opinion is that we keep working with Neilpryde and providing vital sailor feedback so that we work towards a product that we can all feel is world class. And we need to get it available SOON!! continues on next slide … 19
