US SAILING’s One-Design Sailing Symposium sails to Atlanta
Nov. 15-16, 2008, Atlanta, GA

You are, no doubt, passionate about wind, water, boats, racing, and your sailing buddies. Learn more about growing your sport and improving your sailing skills. At ODSS, US SAILING brings racing rock stars and legendary leaders in our sport to one venue for a great exchange of ideas and information.
This year at Atlanta Yacht Club, enjoy hearing Dave Perry, Greg Fisher, Skip Dieball and approximately 25 other speakers including builders, coaches, marketing and public relations experts, fleet builders, and class leaders.
You will also enjoy:
• Mt Gay Rum Speaker Series Presentation and Party Saturday night
• North U Rules Seminar with Dave Perry
• Go Fast Workshops with Greg Fisher and Skip Dieball
• National One-Design Awards
• Race Management Seminar (Friday)
• On the water sailing photography lesson

On the build-your-sport agenda, we share the best growth and promotion ideas, solve common problems, discover resources, and connect with new sailing buddies. Expert presenters with innovative ideas provide fleet builders with a tool box overflowing with proven fleet building techniques. Would you like to make your grassroots class growth campaign more effective? What works in fleet building or pumping up the fun factor? What makes a one-design class successful? How can you improve your web site, public relations, marketing, insurance, safety and measurement at events? Come away informed, enthused, and energized to promote one-design sailing.
For the sail-faster track, you’ll hear fresh presentations and discussions to move your team up to fame and glory. Ever heard of a “puff bomb?” Could you improve your upwind lane management?

After revealing all secrets of brilliant fleet/class building and blazing boat speed, we’ll do the next logical thing--party!

Multiple sessions run concurrently so you bring your leadership team as well as your racing team—one person cannot get to every session on the agenda.

Ultimately the success of your whole class determines the value of your own boat and how much fun you have racing. If your class, fleet, or club would like to grow or be stronger, then come to The US SAILING’s One-Design Sailing Symposium. It’s for everyone who is enthusiastic about sailing.

The format of the ODC is very much like the format used in the current SAYRA Youth Class Championship. 
Each class that participates in the ODC will select which regattas will be used in their championship series.  The number of events in the series will be up to the class but should not be less than three and should include several different venues within SAYRA hosted by SAYRA clubs or associate club or fleets.  Classes can use their existing championship series where the events are held at SAYRA member clubs.  Classes may dictate use of a throw-out.  If a member of a class sails in a major class event on the same day as a SARYA event is being held, they should be given credit for the series event.
The winners of each class must be an individual or family member of SAYRA.
For participating classes, a Class Representative (CR) is identified and will be the interface to the ODC Chairman.  The CR will identify what races are on that class championship series and will be responsible for getting copies of the finial results to the ODC Chair and a copy is to be sent to the SAYRA Web Site. The overall winners for each class will be determine by the CR.  Each CR will need to provide to the ODC Chair the results no later than the first of December to allow the purchase of the trophies that will be presented at the next annual SAYRA membership meeting.This is an evolving procedure and issues may arise that will need to be resolved.  The ODC Chairman will work with each CR to find solutions to identified issues. 
The goal is to recognize the top sailors in the fleets that sail in the SAYRA area and to encourage new classes and additional members to existing class.  Recommendations for enhancements and/or changes to this process can be directed to the ODC Chairman for further study and consideration by the SAYRA Executive Board
