Dear owners of this class, Sorry for the sad situation that the class is living now. I would strongly urge that the candidates attempt to reach agreement among themselves on how to resolve this matter. Dear RoyL, The next morning after the meeting I sent Bruce an e mail because I wasn’t sure if he...

I think that Barbadians made a great job organizing this event, they put a lot of illusion, time, effort and of course money to make this championship a great event and the result was good but everything can be improved and we have to focus on that points to help the organizers of the next event to ...

I think these guys are doing a great job. I have been sitting with the camera man taking some pictures and you should see where he is sitting. I just go and stay there for one fleet, but he stays for the whole day. I guess is the same with all the people that is behind him in the distribution of the...

Dear Jan, I have read the response of ISAF and I think that the document is very interesting, but I was said that there were also a question for the proposed rule changes to prevent the movement of corrector weights during an event and I do not find any reference to this question or may be I should ...

Dear Daniel, I am running for the position of Chairman nor VC Events and I do not know if the Exec has taken any decision on this issue. If they did I will respect it but I think it should have been made public. On the other hand I can tell you that I know the proposed venue. I went there in 2006 (I...

Well done Marko. Number 1) I agree with you 100%. Nothing to say. Number 2) I agree with you 100%. But do not expect an emergency rule change because our VC Technical has said in this post that he has a different opinion. Number 3) For the moment I can tell you that I am really impressed :shock: , t...

Nice empty words. Let me also answer you some of your statements. I do not think it is the job of VC Tech to substitute my judgement for that of the membership and certainly not for a proposal submitted by a national authority. 2. To answer your question directly, of course I have read all of the pr...

Dear Roy: I think you told us that you are a lawyer so let me ask you a question: Does a company fail to exist because they did not call for shareholders’ meeting? The answer is No, so the situation with ISAF RSD is exactly the same, there are different consequences for that mistake but the compan...

Dear John, I asked the same question than you in the WC forum the 13th of February and it was on proof readying. I am afraid that it is still in the same situation and I have the feeling that the situation won’t change before the 23th of June. In any case, recently I have been studying this propos...

Dear Bruce and RoyL, I think that Olivier has clarified the situation, but I also suggest a reading of ESP proposals for the next AGM (number 2 and 3). This is important because I am not ignoring the rules, but when I think they can be improved I propose a change so owners can vote it and take the d...

Gentleman, please be serious just for one time. It is supposed that the Exec should work to enforce the rules not to ignore them. The period to propose the resolution that will be voted in the next AGM is clearly stated in Regulations 4.6. If we ignore this rule we are creating a bad precedent and t...

Robert, Probably you are right, I know that document and the procedure for a technical interpretation is quite similar to the one that must be followed in case of an amendment to the rules. That is the reason why I have not asked for a technical interpretation, because the last amendment to the rule...

Shifting weights around violates the most important rule, SPORTMANSHIP, which govern all sailing.

Roy said I also know that if you showed up at a "big boat" regatta with your "fixed" ballast held in place by velcro or a shock cord or any other kind of strap, you would be laughed out of the race I think the question has to be studied proportionally. You have to be crazy or stupid if you intend t...
