What is the Future of Sailing’s Premier Events?
Posted by Yacht Racing Business Editor on Dec 28, 2010 in Business, Europe, WYRF | Comments Off
Chaired by Richard Simmonds of Sunset+Vine APP, this session at the WYRF 2010 featured:
- Knut Frostad, CEO, Volvo Ocean Race
- Eddie Owen, CEO, Royal Offshore Racing Club
- Franck David, Director, Multi-One Design Circuit
- Jim O’Toole, CEO, World Match Racing Tour
- Luc Talbourdet, President, IMOCA
Things are changing in sailing. The world governing body is beginning to increase its role in the management of premier sailing events. It’s a bit of a shame that Jerome Pels from ISAF was not on this panel. He was attending the event (and presented as part of the Olympic session) and discussions we had with him about the management of the ‘Grand Prix’ events were encouraging. ISAF is not doing a great job of promoting their initiatives, but we’ll come back to that later.
