Official Class Statement:
Due to serious problems with the Sail Registration Scheme as it was proposed for 2002, the IFWC Committee have agreed to abandon the scheme in its current format.
The majority of sailors are still in favour of some form of “Production Sail ” limitation – and it is the committees’ intention to pursue this objective .
The detail is beindg discussed and research initiated, but no scheme will be implemented without time to achieve full consultation with ALL parties involved (inc. manufacturers ) — with proper notice given of the scheme, and timescale to be involved –and the full approval of the class AGM.
THIS IS UNLIKELY TO BE ACHEIVED BEFORE THE START OF 2004 SEASON .
