Compliments of the Season to all Sailors

Seasons Greetings

This is a very reflective time of the year for all of us. This is especially true this year as the World appears to be threatened with escalating political tensions which could lead to military confrontations.

Whenever I see a casualty no matter which side of the conflict the young person is on I immediately think whether that person would not prefer to be Sailing.

Do they really know why their political leaders have initiated the confrontation?

There are no winners only losers in war.

I sincerely trust that the tensions will ease and that all challenges will only take place in athletic competitions either on land or sea.

I sincerely wish all of you Fair Sailing and Good Winds on Peaceful Seas!

Respectfully,
Paul Henderson
President ISAF
