2020 IOM European Championship: Postponement
IOMICA VC events has received a memorandum from ITA NCA requesting the postponement of the European Championship until October 2021.
(Note: all international sailing events in Italy have now been cancelled or postponed)
Whilst it is several months away from the event, and considering the uncertainty of COVID 19 in the host country and around the world, IOMICA VC events accepts the recommendation of the ITA NCA to postpone the event.
This decision has not been taken lightly but with the wellbeing and safety of all competitors and race officials paramount, it is a necessary one.
As a result the bidding for the IOM World Championship will be suspended until further notice and bidding opened for other possible continental championships to take place in 2021. Bids are welcomed from today until 6th July 2020. On conclusion of this process, the bidding will be reopened for the IOM World Championship which will take place in 2022.

In Memoriam: Mr. Barry Fox
It is with a heavy heart that I wanted to notify our IOM community of the recent passing of Mr. Barry Fox on Sunday morning February 16th. His three children were with him, and his passing was peaceful.
Barry was a long-time member of the IOM ICA Executive Team serving a Secretary for years, and was incredibly active within the ranks of Canadian Radio Yachting Association (CRYA). His administrative support to radio sailing, diligent attention to detail, selflessness, and humor will be genuinely missed by all that knew him. He was a stalwart supporter of the IOM Class we all love so much, and gave freely of his time and effort so others could enjoy this passion.
