Our Ambassadors
Our Sailing Ambassadors play a vital role: inspiring participation, raising awareness, supporting local initiatives, and sharing the values at the heart of World Sailing Day: heritage, innovation, sustainability, and the joy of being on the water.
Ambassadors also represent the interests of the various interest groups within our sailing community and provide valuable input and guidance to our activities.
AMBASSADORS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON 28 MAY FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF WORLD SAILING DAY.
