Rockley International Builds Worldwide Connections for the Future
The 2010 ISAF Annual Conference was held this month in Athens, Greece.
Rockley International, along with 500 worldwide visitors, attended the conference to discuss and debate a huge variety of issues concerning the future of sailing.
As an ISAF Connect to Sailing Partner, Rockley International was invited to present talks at the Connect to Sailing Seminar on Sunday 7th November. The seminar, held to update on the progress of the Connect to Sailing Initiative and to encourage members to be more involved in growing youth sailing participation, heard from Rockley International’s Pip Woods and Richard Percy.
The presentations covered participation in sailing, the new ISAF Training Scholarship and the progress, over the last 12 months, of Rockley International’s projects to deliver training and assistance to countries to develop sailing within their own nations. The seminar was extremely well received and a inspirational presentation from South Africa’s National Training Manager and ISAF Training Scholarship graduate, Rob Holden, grabbed the attention of everyone with his enthusiasm and passion to bring sailing opportunities to everyone.
On attending the conference, Rockley Director, Lis Gordon commented: “It has been a hugely successful event for Rockley International. As Connect to Sailing partners and training provider of choice for the ISAF Training Scholarship, we are a company that is constantly working towards increasing participation and awareness of sailing.”
“Rockley International is making a name for itself within the industry; we made some great connections, built new relationships and are being noticed as a real force that is making a difference in helping to grow sailing globally.”
The ISAF conference was a great stepping stone for Rockley International who are now looking to the future with two ISAF Training Scholarship courses scheduled for spring and autumn 2011 and continued work with emerging nations to develop sail training and grassroots participation.
