Manufacturer’s Report Marc-Olivier Leconte (FRA) Representative of the Manufacturer Windsurfing Brand Manager of NeilPryde Ltd. Separate presentation 18
Sailor’s Representative Report Bryony Shaw (GBR) Sailor’s Representative 19
Sailor’s Representative Report • In my 7 years as athlete rep for the RS:X Class a lot of my role as an Olympic Year approaches is ensuring that we are set up & well informed regarding the equipment. After the issues of supplied kit in 2012 I encouraged the AGM to vote on allowing Bring Your Own kit for 2016, which proved popular and with the board & sail in the Rio colours, the class looked fresh & well presented. I still feel that this option is relevant for 2020, but we are also facing the issues of whether or not there will be any kit supplied by Neilpryde at all! • The "Look of the Games" has been attached to the Neilpryde brand since 2012 and I feel that has been a big strength of the Class & showcases the best that the sport has to offer. If there is a jumble-sale of different colours and different quality then it is apparent that our One Design principles are misshapen or compromised. So, if the MNAs are willing to pay for their equipment or there is a way found for the cost to be removed from Neilpryde's pocket then this would be a huge benefit to the Look of the Games in Tokyo when the athletes receive their kit bag 10 days before the racing starts. • Equipment distribution and quality seems to be returning to a manageable level, but it is clear that there needs to be a restriction on serial numbers for the Bring Your Own Equipment that is allowed at the Olympic Games. I also feel we need to maintain an equal distribution across the marketplace so that no one nation is given preference based on the side of their account. These things need to be maintained by transparency in the factory & in the distribution channels. So, Bas Edmonds and Marco Leconte need to keep us informed on an ongoing basis, so we avoid any unfair situations with equipment. Athletes need to be confident with what kit is legal and when they can expect their gear, no more empty promises on warranties or blaming shipping schedules! • There was a decent step forward with the success of the Garda Worlds & this effort needs to be maintained for the 2020 Worlds & Europeans. The athletes loved following the marching band through the local town for the opening ceremony & the feel-good video at the closing ceremony gave everyone tingles! It reminds us all of the love we have for our sport. It seems we are on track & maintaining a healthy increase in young participants to our championships, also females & emerging nations, which is vital. Infrastructure on land and course area prep need to be considered well in advance of any championship, given our large entry numbers. • Best foot forward for the WS Conference & roll on 2020!
