World Sailing Rebranding Exercise

The World Sailing organization has been working on a rebranding exercise and that is complete now. This exercise was planned by the World Sailing for some time as it wishes to take on a unique positioning for the sport. Hence, a new and fresh brand identity has been put up in the same.

Not only is its visual identity stronger and more contemporary, but it also has a new vision along with a redefined mission for the sport. It would be focusing on technology as well as nature as it moves to its new independent form of the previous International Sailing Federation or ISAF identity that it was part of earlier. This had commenced from November 2015.

The new log of the organization can be found on many official publications and blogs as well as forums. The brand identity would be rolled out along with several other digital signatures, and used on sites as far afield as ones to Charter a Yacht in Trogir or race in a Grand Prix. There has also been a short film done on the coaches, the sailors, fans and sports enthusiasts who have been supportive of the new positioning of the brand. (more…)

Moth US National Championship won by Brad Funk

After staying in the 2nd spot after 7 races yesterday, Brad Funk leaned on the gas a bit harder through 5 races today to snatch Moth US National Championship. The wind slightly went toward the right and picked up from Saturday, 14 to 20 knots, offering more coherent conditions.

Downwind speeds counted on how much force was displacing down Buttonwood Sound and who set their sail checks perfectly and then remained on the similar jibe if they were pulling. Brad Funk really owned it. (more…)
