National Yacht Club

 Nearly 2 years after a push for reforming the ISA at a meeting held in the National Yacht Club in April 2013, where over 300 suggestions for change were made, a new draft five year strategic plan has been published.   The Plan is for the period 2015 – 2020 and is based on the views that were put to a ‘Strategic Review Group’. The SRG was asked by the Board in 2013 to assess where the Association stood and how it needed to adjust to better serve the sport of Sailing. The Board accepted its Report and tasked a group to prepare a new Strategic Plan for the ISA based on its contents. This blueprint (available to download below) looks like a positive step forward not least because it makes an attempt to implement measurable targets for the good of grass–roots sailors. A meeting to discuss the draft plan will be held on Wednesday 21st January (7pm-9pm) in the Royal St George Yacht Club. For more analysis, please visit www.afloat.ie Download: ISA_2015-2020_Draft
