Three major offshore sailing organisations have joined in partnership to address the current state of grand prix handicap racing.
To achieve this, a survey is being undertaken which will be distributed throughout the world to owners, sailors, the marine industry and other interested parties. Feedback received will assist in formulating recommendations on what actions should be taken.

Olin Stephens is an advising member. Additionally, each of the three partner organizations can provide a technical consultant. Jim Teeters is the consultant for the US Sailing contingent.
