Pathway Evolution Webinar Series

We know that our communities will have questions around the new Pathway and what some of the programme and structural changes mean as we start to reshape our activities.

We want to be open about those changes and so will be running a series of public webinars in the coming months to help dig into the detail of how our programmes are evolving to better support sailors and their families, and to meet the changing needs of the sport.
