On behalf of the US Sailing staff, board of directors, committee members and all of our dedicated volunteers around the country. Your support allows us to continue improving our core programs and develop new initiatives to grow sailing into the future. We hope you enjoy the 2013 Annual Report that represents a new approach, one that looks at who we are and what we do in relation to the key issues facing sailing: access and opportunity, simplifying sailing and racing, community connections, and young sailors.
In 2013, we improved the overall US Sailing member experience, and became more valuable and relevant resource for sailors of all types (new, experienced, competitive, recreational, etc.), local sailing organizations and schools, instructors and coaches, and race officials. While there is still much to be done, we made significant progress. One result of this work is our new website, recently launched after more than a year in development.
