MIDDLETOWN, R.I. – Sail America’s general members meeting on Oct. 5 in Annapolis, Md., will have a new meeting format with an in-depth interactive discussion about sailing’s current and future outlook, including viewpoints from industry leaders and an experienced economist, Sail America said in a press release Wednesday. Gary Jobson, ESPN sailing analyst, author, lecturer and editor-at-large for Sailing World and Cruising World, will moderate the meeting and discussion.

The speakers and topics that will be covered at the meeting include:
