Building a class from scratch isn't easy. But there are some things you can do to start the ball rolling. If possible, get yourself onto your club sailing committee. This will ensure the Sprint voice is heard. What then?
Volunteer to take charge of your club notice board. This presents a golden opportunity to promote the Sprints. Freshen it up by removing unwanted material and replace it with a picture of yourself (and contact details) and some pictures of Sprints in action. Photocopy the "for sale" page from the association website and stick it on the board. Make sure Sprint posters are at eye level.
Write something for your club magazine. In particular, offer to take members for a trial sail. And then pop the question.
Volunteer to manage the boat park. This is the holy grail because applications for a space will invariably have to be referred to you. If an applicant is undecided which class to buy, make sure Sprints are on the short list.
