    JUNE 2005 / 2 NEWSINTERNATIONAL EUROPE CLASS UNION LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Just now is a very important period in the Europe Class history. Not being Olympic Class anymore allows us to look for changes in profit of all the Class. I think it is very, very important that the Class moves in the direction the sailors want, and not only in the direction the federations and leaders want. For this reason the Europe Class board had a meeting in March. We succeeded in creating some ideas for the future. These ideas have been Can Pastilla- Trofeo Princesa Sofia – March 05- sent to your national Chairmen. They have been asked, together with Photo: Jorma Heiskanen you sailors, to discuss the results the IECU board recommended, and to discuss other plans for the future. During the European Championship in Helsinki, there will be a meeting where I expect as many national Chairmen as possible to be present, and the IECU board. They will sit together and find out in what directions you sailors want the IECU board to work. I am as usual looking forward to visit the Worlds, Europeans and Youth. I hope you all will have a fantastic sailing period. Best regards. Jan Abrahamsen, IECU President WORKING HARD IN THE UK Given the dramatic decision by ISAF regarding the Europe, it was felt by the UK Class Association that we should have a presence at this year’s Dinghy Show at Alexandra Palace, and show that there is life outside of the Olympics! With 10,000 people passing through the doors we could not miss this opportunity, and indeed the International Europe Class Union helped by lending us their professional display stand, together with bundles of leaflets and information packs.

  • Winnerboats Europe Class Results 2003 � World Champion 2002 - Women’S Fleet
    SEPTEMBER 2003 / 3 NEWSINTERNATIONAL EUROPE CLASS UNION LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Sailors and Friends, I have just paid a visit to the Youth Europeans, 89 girls and 75 boys took part. It was a perfect Championship, but I was not happy to see 92 yellow flags. That is too much too much, 40 for the girls, 52 for the boys. How can that happen ? At the girls course there were given 6 yellow flags in top 20, 7 in top 30. At the boys course there were given 9 yellow flags in top 20, 17 in top 30. To me it looks like the boys are showed the yellow flag more often than the girls, and the best sailors in both groups are showed the yellow flag less than the other sailors. There might be many reasons. One might be that the last part of the fleets are the new and not-experienced sailors. Perharps they do not know the rules 100%. It might also be that only the top-sailors are coached. I will ask everyone of you, if you are not 100% sure what is legal racing, to go to your coach and ask him/ her to teach you how the rules work. Best regards.
