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.
