I have attended the World Sailing Annual Conference as an observer, and there was always a lot to observe. Much of it was deep in the weeds, but gave sense for why the organization exists. Somebody has to deal with the details of the sport.
Thankfully, the World Sailing staff would provide a daily summary which would clear any confusion and fill in the blanks. These reports may not have been of broad interest, but I contend it is important for the world governing body for sailing to keep the curtains open.
