Functional Classification System
 

This system is currently in final development.  Current specifications and forms can be found at www.ifds.org, and may be downloaded and viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader.  While we would be happy to work with you, and refer you to the Chief National Classifier for the US, please take a look at these forms and paperwork first as much of our conversation will revolve around them.

 

Listing of Classifications

In the interest of distributing information, we have posted classification numbers of many of the athletes around the country.  If, for some reason, you do not want to be posted on this list, merely email us and we will remove your name promptly.  We feel, however, that this listing will provide a solid base of information for people wishing to find crew, check on classification numbers, and even find people with their classifications to contact about sailing techniques....  We must point out that this list is in no way official, and may not be used for IFDS classification purposes.
