2012 IOM Euro in Malaga

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

IOMICA Events SC has accepted ESP and Malaga proposal for IOM 2012 European Championship (October 30th to November 4th)

We will test at this continental championship a shorter event (2 days measurement + 4 days racing) with 4 heats so 62 competitors.
Events SC will propose next AGM to vote for modified Class Championship Rules for a 4 heats continental championship in order to get adapted (~proportional) allocation of places.
We await a confirmation from Marblehead Worlds organisers (initially planned October 14th/21st) to start their event 1 week earlier so hopefully they won’t interfere too much.
We have also received a very good quality proposal from ISR, but we have considered location too far from most competitors for an European Championships. They have so been offered to bid for next World Championship in 2013.
Deadline for submission of proposals for 2013 Worlds is January 1st 2012.

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

Request for IOM  Class Rule changes  from Robert Grubiša, IOM ICA VC Chairman .

Goals for the proposed amendments:

• To remove non ERS definitions if possible.
• To amend the current, and in practise impossible, leech requirements.
• To permit batten patches and to treat them equal to batten pockets.
• To permit mainsails without any battens/batten patches
• To simplify the current leech control rules if possible.
• To legalize currently used sails which do not comply with the current rules in regard to leech
shape at a batten pocket point and/or have batten patches.
