The current health situation is complex and many countries are suffering a resurgence of the Covid virus. Some travelling international restrictions have already been set in place and it is not possible to foresee what could happen next European spring.

The Marblehead and 10 Rater ICA Executives are in agreement with the organising committee of the 2022 combined European Championship to take the decision to postpone the event.

The two classes would like to thank Circolo Vela Castiglionese for offering to move the event and host again in 2023.

The new proposed date is from 23 April to 3 May, 2023 at the same venue.

In the meantime, there are plans for a replacement 10R event to be held at the same venue for those who can make it under current Covid restrictions.

The planning is for a 10R class three day event from 14 to 16 May, 2022 named “Nation Cup 10R” that will also include the 10R Italian Championship open to Italian and foreign skippers, in compliance with all the current anti-covid rules.

We are confident in your understanding and support in these uncertain times.

European Cup organising Committee.

At the 2016 World Championships at Lake Garda, Italy, several interested groups worked on the founding and development of an International Class Association. This has taken some time to reach this point, but over the last few months great progress has been made with the help of key individuals to finish the development of the IMCA.

This involved the writing of an international standard Constitution to guide future executive committees and the development of a realistic schedule to turn a strong desire for an association into reality over the next 12 months.

The Schedule of Events
