JSAF President Welcome (E.O.W.2011)

It is my great pleasure that JSAF ENOSHIMA OLYMPIC WEEK 2011 is held under the sponsorship of The Enoshima Yacht Club, the Shonan Nagisa Park Corp, Kanagawa Sailing Federation, Fujisawa City Yachting Association and Kanagawa Youth Yacht Club, together with the cooperation from the related organization.
I feel deeply sorry to the victims of Eastern Japan Earthquake Disaster. We would like to express our sincere thanks for the support and seamanship given by Japanese and overseas sailors that sympathized with JSAF's appeal.
This event is considered as high-level regatta, because the world championship competitors and promising young sailors participate. I hope the regatta could be International Sailing Race deserver ISAF Category 2.

I wish the participants will be able to show the skill and power achieved by daily practice and establish friendly relationship with pleasing memories. We treasure up environment. Let's give our best try the clean sea forever.
Finally, I wish good weather and wind, and the safety during the event.
