North Formula 2006......
It was brought to my attention that there is a rumor going around about North not making Formula sails smaller than 11.0.
This is not true. The North Formula sizes will be: 10.0, 11.0, 11.9, and 12.5.
I hope this clears up any misunderstandings about North's program and their commitment to Formula and Slalom racing.
Regards,
Jimmy

Dear Competitors

Ceri has received a telephone call today from the organisers in Brazil to say that they are unable to run the FW Grand Prix in Brazil from 1-6 November. The prize money cannot be guaranteed and the event is cancelled.

We realise that costs may have been incurred and cancellation of an event causes great inconvenience. The decision is not taken lightly. Ceri would be pleased to hear from you all to ascertain whether or not you have incurred costs that cannot be recovered.

The orgnisers are concerned that those sailors that pre entered are not disavantaged .
Further more they remain committed to delivering formula events in the future , without repeating the errors of the past.
