Dr Malav Shroff has been re-elected unopposed as the President of the Asian Sailing Federation (ASAF) at the organisation’s Annual General Meeting, which took place virtually because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Zhang Xiaodong was the only other nominee standing for the post, but she withdrew due to personal reasons.
Dr Shroff is due to serve a further four year term through to 2025, and following his re-election he unveiled his vision for ASAF going forward.
Dr Shroff’s plans for his tenure include helping more countries develop stronger programmes in sailing, with a pledge of developing Asian Centres of Development and Excellence throughout the continent to help towards this aim.
