The Change of Watch for 2019 was held on March 19 at the Tableaux Lounge in Daikanyama. The new commander, David Edwards, and the new bridge officers were elected and sworn in. Afterwards, dinner was served followed by the raffle.

The new commander laid out the challenges for 2019 as achieving greater diversity and inclusiveness in the TSPS membership, meaning trying to bring in more women and young people, as well as providing more boating opportunities. Working more with Sailability Tokyo will be a big part of this effort.
