The ISO Class Association (formerly known as the UK ISO Class Association), is run like most other associations, on a voluntary basis. The committee consists of ISO sailors around the country of varying skills and abilities both on and off the water. The current hard working committee can be viewed via the “Contact Us” section of this site. As a close working team, they aim to maintain and increase the strength and popularity of the ISO Class. Whilst they make decisions for the ISO sailors, they are always open to feedback and opinions of the ISO sailors themselves on whatever topics arise. Any problems as to the manufacture or supply of ISO parts etc, the committee take this responsibility on board for you, the ISO Class member, and apporaches the manufacturer / supplier with the problem.

As usual, things don’t come for free. Training weekends, snail mail postings consisting of ballot papers and membership certificates, as well as the annual dinghy show based at Alexandra Palace in London, all require funding. The funding is sourced from the class’ members, usually ISO sailors. Those who pay the annual £30 by direct debit or online via PayPal, or £35 if paying by cheque, are entitiled to have their say on the direction of the ISO class and what they would like to see modified or continued. The membership fee also entitles the member to race on the very popular sociable ISO race circuit, which is held at several venues throughout the year.
