THE FIRST JIB FURLER WITHOUT FOILS

it could potentially be made so much more relatable to such a wide audience. This could be the breakthrough… if we do it right.’ However, if this thing were to succeed Stan, along with Matt Allen and Dina Kowalyshyn, all also on the council of World Sailing, quickly identified the need for an organisation to bring the discipline together globally… and they asked me to get it started! When we started the Offshore Doubles Sailing Association in mid-October we were very gratified by the immediate interest from around the world. In just one month we had 1,600 members from 66 countries on all six populated continents. Our Facebook page has been filling up with video stories about many different teams and why they are so interested in Mixed Offshore Doubles as a discipline. Our next steps for 2021 are co-ordinating with World Sailing on the major events over the next quad, starting with this year’s Olympic training and world and continental championships. Our plan is to find an equitable way to showcase the fantastic boats that have been built and are being designed for the fast-growing two-handed segment of the sport. In addition, we will be working closely with our members, federations and race organisers to share best prac- tices of safety, boat equalisation and other appropriate rules for double-handed racing to make it easy for race organisers to include Offshore Doubles in as many of their events as is practical. And of course with the pandemic Double Handed sailing had got a big boost in 2020 and into 2021. Nevertheless, as a discipline it has been around for decades and our founding partners – IRC, RORC, Storm Trysail Club, ORC and others – have been enthusi- astically running double-handed races for years. But with their help and yours we now plan to take this thing to the next level. Come and join us at offshoredoubles.org.
