Interview with ISAF Sailing World Cup Head John Craig

ISAF World Cup

 

Originally a Vancouver based sailing coach who was the Canadian Olympic Sailing Coach for a number of years before a 10 year stint at St Francis Yacht Club, was fresh from his Principal Race Officer role with the 34th America’s Cup.

At that time he admitted there were quite some work to do to deliver the ISAF vision.

With Hyeres being the first of the new format World Cup regattas, here is a mid-term report.

Post interview Craig forecast prize money of €150,000 for each of the World Cup events and €250,000 for the finals.

It’s a 10 minute interview, so if you are interested in what ISAF could be getting right, grab a cup of coffee and settle down.

In the past the Galley Guys have travelled far and wide to great locations to explore the good life on a boat. However, this year we stayed in our own backyard for a real treat; cruising The Trent Severn Waterway.
