One of the key outcomes had been the discovery of the one million participations at our clubs over a 12-month period. This included all sailing and non-sailing activities and served as a guide as to the busyness and value of the clubs. Club Conference It was advised that the conference was envisaged to be held on the first Saturday of August (TBC shortly) with a similar format to that of the successful 2012 conference. Other Items Catamaran Sailing was discussed and it was indicated that in light of its Olympic reinclusion, the popularity of the Americas Cup and the general interest in catamaran sailing that more YV attention should be directed its way.
