In February, 2015, US Sailing and AmericaOne announced a very exciting initiative, called Project Pipeline. \u00a0I want to give you a little personal perspective on the initiative and pass along the link to the press release.<\/p>\n

AmericaOne is a long time supporter of the US Olympic Sailing Team. Bob \u201cBuddah\u201d Billingham was a passionate Olympian, a Silver medalist, and A1\u2019s representative who initiated this support and oversaw it. He served on the US Olympic Sailing Committee Board for many\u00a0years.<\/p>\n

Bob was excellent at identifying a need and then recruiting the support to make it happen. We all know that not only did Bob have great ideas, he would get them done!<\/p>\n

Bob\u2019s last target for improving US Olympic sailing was identifying our deficiency in the development of young sailors. As Bob\u2019s cancer worsened, he asked me to take his place in working with the US Olympic Sailing Team on this important project.\u00a0\u00a0 Sadly, Bob passed away last March.<\/p>\n

In the last year, we have developed a plan to increase\u00a0training, support and opportunity for the youth of America. \u00a0Project Pipeline is about getting America back on the Olympic podium but also about raising the level of sailing talent in the US across the board.<\/p>\n

US Sailing and AmericaOne are proud to launch\u00a0this Project. The AmericaOne grant of $5M means Project Pipeline will be initiated immediately. It is our expectation\u00a0that over the next 10 years, Project Pipeline will grow in breadth and depth, and\u00a0that others will join in and support this worthy cause.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe top winning nations in sailing share the common trait of a well-formed talent development system,\u201d said Josh Adams, Managing Director of US Olympic Sailing. \u201cThis is critical to sustainable success in Olympic sailing.\u00a0With the extraordinary commitment of $5 million from the AmericaOne Foundation, we are in a position to launch a long-term initiative that will transform the way top young sailors train in the US.\u201d<\/p>\n

Targeting the best American youth talent, Project Pipeline is the strategy behind a new-look Olympic Development Program, which aims to better serve young sailors, lead them into high-performance boats earlier in their development, and build well-rounded sailors with complete skill sets. Providing training\/racing opportunities with world-class coaching and the highest level of technical standards are the core principles of the initiative.<\/p>\n
