ICS has over 35 years experience in delivering truly excellent sailing courses for young people. ICS was set up in 1980 by Bryan Willis, former International Judge and Chief Umpire of the America's Cup, Olympic Jury Chairman and international authority on the Racing Rules of sailing and author of several popular books on the rules. Bryan was passionate about youth sailing and after setting up ICS his courses soon became well known for their ability to inspire young people in the sport. Bryan retired from running ICS in 2006 handing over to his son Jae who continues to develop and improve the courses in the same vein.
