Leadership
ISAF needs strong leadership which must be transparent, balanced and accountable, with thorough consultation with the Council on all matters. The views expressed by the Council and committee members must be respected.
Change
The structure of ISAF must be changed to strengthen the organisation. All MNA's must be involved in the major decision making process. The structure must develop greater efficiency to reduce the decision making process and the duration of the annual meeting.
Service
MNA's, Continental Associations and Classes are vital to ISAF. Support, service and cost benefits must be improved. The Secretariat must be situated in the most efficient and cost effective location. Marketing the sport is a priority
Development
Increased participation; presentation of our sport and with the media; ensure sailing is attractive to youth and relevant to the Olympic Games; to develop sailing, particularly the emerging nations is essential for the future of our sport.
