  • IHCA Rules and Measurement Annual Report 2015
    IHCA Rules and Measurement Annual Report 2015 Another year has passed with several national and international Hansa Class events being conducted, including the Australian Hansa Class Championships, French Hansa Class Championships, New Zealand Hansa Class Championships, Italian Hansa Class Championships and European Hansa Class Championships; to name a few. At these events all boats were measured/inspected to ensure they comply with the Hansa Class rules. The Hansa Class rules are scrutinised and revised to ensure that the class remains competitive and equitable. With input from several Hansa delegates some suggestions have been forwarded to all NHCAs for discussion. The class rules are accessible on the Hansa Class web site (http://hansaclass.org/technical/). I urge all NHCA officials to impress on all sailors competing in any championship events to be compliant with the class rules. The World Hansa Championships are at Medemblik next year. Reports from the UK and Europe show that the class rules are being adhered to and met. There were only a couple of requests for additional equipment (RAE) received during the past 12 months. I hope all boats that require equipment assistance have been modified as per the RAEs. With respect to the Hansa Class rules, I believe the system in place for modifications is sound; it provides for proper overview and agreement by a number of Hansa delegates before approval is given. The competiveness of the sailors at major Hansa Class events has improved and the sailors are producing better performances from all Hansa dinghies, consequently some measurements/rules are being pushed to the limit.
