From ISAF.......
"ISAF has realised that most of it’s Recognised Classes are not necessarily the best boats in which to introduce the sport of sailing to newcomers or in which to teach and develop sailing skills. They also have acknowledged that in the past a number of classes have been incorrectly favoured by National Sailing Authorities, and in turn clubs and schools around the world on the back of this ISAF Status Therefore ISAF have introduced the Connect To Sailing global initiative to increase participation in sailing. Connect To Sailing's overriding goal is to revitalise grass roots participation in all categories of sailing outside elite activity and put sailing firmly back into a growth sport with a focus on youth."
ISAF have awarded the Topaz Uno Sailing System, Taz Race,Vibe,Xenon,Omega,Topaz 14&16 Cats 'Learn To Sail Recommended Boat' Status
From ISAF.........
Through the Connect to Sailing programme, ISAF have developed an initiative to enhance the Learn to Sail Programme to include a system of clearly identifying boats and equipment for use by Member National Authorities (MNAs), the national governing bodies for sailing around the world, for developing and teaching sailing in their nation. The ISAF Learn to Sail programme is based around supporting the development of sailing in a nation through a clear and consistent international programme. The scheme covers many aspects of setting up training centres and the responsibilities of the parties involved. Within this programme there is also the need to identify suitable equipment appropriate for training. The boats and equipment selected have proved to have suitable availability to MNA's and also offer a supply structure to reduce costs to the MNA's and Learn to Sail Programme training centres. These boats have been independently assessed by ISAF to be ideal for developing and/or teaching sailing within the ISAF Learn to Sail programme; they also undergo safety assessments such as European CE marking or coastguard assessment. The effective equipment categorization such as entry, intermediate and advanced level helps MNA's to understand the equipment and sign post a pathway from grass roots to Olympic level.
