Impact of Major Events and Participation

• Tom Slingsby ISAF Male Sailor of the Year 2010
• The thing that really made me want to sail was
  sitting on the rocks at the 2000 Olympics - I
  went down every day for two weeks to watch the
  sailing. I used to sit on Bradleys Head for five
  or six hours and just watch the sailors come
  right in tacking close to the rocks, and I
  remember watching Robert Scheidt and Ben Ainslie
  sailing for the Laser Gold Medal and that was the
  sign that sailing was what I really wanted to
  do.
• James Merlino Minister for Sport Recreation
  - Nov 2010
• We know there is a direct relationship between
  major events, elite performance and the future
  level of participation.
