The head of the Association says, "One reason for the training courses is to spot potential talent. Another is, of course, to raise boating standards in the hopes of encouraging more people to compete." With this in mind, he hopes that Taiwan, with a stiff wind at her back and clear sky overhead, will soon be able to sail great distances in international competitions.
帆協總幹事梁球芳說：「我們舉辦比賽的重要目的就是選拔有潛力的選手，施以專業化訓練，藉以培養優秀的選手，期能早日參加國際性的比賽。」
