SUCCESSFUL ONE-DESIGN MANAGEMENT US Sailing has posted an excerpt from their Class Management Handbook that outlines their “Ten Commandments for Successful One-Design Management:” 1. Communicate 2. Use local fleets as fleet building blocks and their leaders as your conduit to the sailors. 3. Balance continuity and new blood 4. Create enforceable class rules – and enforce them 5. Treat your builder as a partner 6. Raise money 7. Let the world know you exist 8. Make your championships outstanding events 9. Get everyone involved 10. Make one-design sailing fun!

I think that the Cedar Point gang did a fine job of following these rules... Kudos to them. I hope to see that kind of work again in Annapolis this fall...
