A further Message from Steve Bullmore Class President regarding Corona Virus

World Championship 2020 Cancellation 16/5/2020

Hi All

We have been in contact with the organisers in Florida about the forthcoming International 2.4mR World Championships and the Para World Championships which were due to be held later this year. The decision has been made that there are many factors in the Covid 19 times we live in that to hold the championships would not be practical.

Their decision to cancel is well in advance of the date which will hopefully mean that there will not be any negative aspects other than disappointment to those intending to have entered.

Obviously we are disappointed not to take our Class to the USA and the EC are making efforts towards another date with the organisers.

Our acceptance of the Worlds in Tonsberg, Norway in 2021 remains in place and one that we can look forward to bringing 2.4 sailing back onto the World stage.

Please advise your members of the cancellation and the EC will advise you of any further decisions soonest.

Our 2020 AGM can no longer be held and the EC is exploring the possibility of holding this as an electronic meeting, again advice on that will be posted soonest.

Best wishes and remain safe

Steve

President International 2.4mR Class Association

Genoa Worlds 2019

CONGRATULATIONS MEGAN PASCOE - 2 times World Champion.

Antwerp 2019

And so on from Genoa, 3 fool hardy Brits continued onto Antwerp. One returning home for a brief 4 days at work (what does the T-Shirt say - " Born to Sail, Forced to Work"), the other 2 continuing their road trip. Meg , Kate and Nev where join my Brit , Martin Whittingham Jones, who had to pull out of Genoa. So a merry band of 4 headed into Antwerp, for what had looked like a pleasant three days sailing... but low and behold the weather forecast changed from a sunny 8mph to a blustery 18 gusting 30mph... oh joy, more windy weather, just what we needed. Still at least the water would be flat !!
