What have the IRSA published about disabled? Where do I find a copy.

Thanks

Hi John,

I am not supposed to publish emails on a forum.

Hi John, it is not MY definition of disabled, it was confirmed by IRSA racing comitee. You cannot decide to retire, it has to be the result of the incident. Change in SI is just applying previous rule. Nothing really new, and clearly more fair than losing a championship because being entangled twice...

In last revision of appendix E, a ROW boat can only get redress if he is disabled and then retire, because the damage due to entanglement prevents him to continue the race. It's not possible to get redress if the competitor DECIDES to retire. So in fact you NEVER gets redress, because with IOMs, inc...

For your information PROVISIONAL (As only 1 non european country, AUS, has requested a place) allocation of places

Notice of Race for 2014 IOM Championship (Campione del Garda Italy) is available on championship website http://www.iomec2014italy.com/home.html If they want to send a competitor Non-European NCAs should ask for a place before March 27th according to Class Championship Rules 8.2 . Request should be ...

Hi Soren.

Why 3 spots with current rules as no DEN was in Croatia ?

Hi Jens,

As you become insultant, I won't answer.

Hi Jens, This is not true : 1/ 84 would be a maximum with 4 promoted HMS 5 heats, but we use 6 promoted for smoother racing, so maximum 76. 2/ If Malta or BEL has 2 great sailors, they will get 2 spots, maybe not at first event but at next one, as they will get places based on previous results. And ...

And: I´m not a football fan, but can say that these sportsman are more fair than us - or did you heared from that there was only half of a team to a WC, because they had been last in their qualification group or come from a small country with only 2 clubs and 22 fans (the footballers wifes)? I´m re...

Based on 2012 AGM IOM ICA 12 out 27 NCAs won't be able to guarantee a spot.... http://iomclass.org/doc-files/Administration/2012-AGM/2012_IOM_ICA_AGM_Voting_Results.pdf wouldn't be a world championship with only 2 competitors from UK, CRO for example considering the level in those countries And abo...

Spain was an Euro, but it wasn't cancelled due to lack of participation issues.

Bruce Andersen wrote:I wonder, given the cancellation of one WC and a dismal attendance at the most recent WC, if we should perhaps be more concerned in increasing entries rather than limiting them.

Which cancellation are you talking about Bruce ?

Sounds like a good reason to vote NO No, it's a good reason for NCAs to send their numbers. The main point behind that proposal is to make a World Championship a real one. If we get others NCAs with current rules, we may get only 2 places for all countries attending. And this wouldn't be a world ch...

It's also important to note that if that resolution is validated by AGM, NCA which don't give owners number before AGM will be counted as 0 owners for next event.

You can follow https://twitter.com/IOMWC2013

And go to this very interesting website also http://iomworlds2013.nomadic.nl/ especially the results page .

Good !

So you will see a very interesting new system for online (radio)sailing results, linked with twitter.
Account to be revealed soon after some tests pending.
Videos are also planned, but no live streaming.

Should I take it personal Bruce ?

Anyway, just wait the start of the event, you may like it.

I got news from FRA competitors. All very upset because that event is based on HMS2007 modified by MVI, which means no seeding race, and first heats directly based on Italian ranking. So ALL foreign competitors (12 on entry list) start from C fleet ! Not a very good way to welcome foreign competitor...

Message received from ITA NCA : "Brenzone is a small town in front of the city of “Campione del Garda”, where there will be the 2014 IOM Class European Championship. (The other side of the lake) Italian IOM NCA is very proud of the relationship created with many others IOM NCAs. The success of the r...

NOR is awaited by IOMICA for final validation

Hi Xavier,

I guess he should add a prefix(1), and if necessary a suffix. (Or keep 100, which is ok with new rules)

IOMICA events SC has received applications from Spain, France and Italy.

Decision to come soon.

Soon, it's in progress.

Good point.

Any others on that?

The problem here is to have in new rules at the same time single digits on sails and single digits during hailing. It seems that single digits hailing was created for non english speakers going to international events. My opinion is that ALL non english speakers going to an international event know ...

Thanks for the heads up Lester, especially on last point...

I am not sure this was noticed by RRS comitee.
E21b could also be changed by SI to avoid that issue.
