From the ILCA President

Events Update

Posted: 2020-05-15T15:19:00Z

After consultation with our host clubs and full  consideration by the Executive Committee, I am disappointed to announce that the 2020 International Lightning Class North American Championships, the 2020 Lightning Women’s, Junior and Masters North American Championships and the 2020 Atlantic Coast Championships have been cancelled. The 2021 World Championships have been postponed as well.

 

The continuing lock-downs and social distancing requirements make it impossible to predict when competitive sailing in a multi-crew boat like ours will be permitted to resume.

 

Nevertheless, I am pleased to report that the Edgewater Yacht Club has agreed to host the rescheduled 2021 North American Championships, the Pymatuning Yacht Club will host the 2021 WJMs and the Carolina Yacht Club will also host the rescheduled ILCA World Championships.

 

More information will be published shortly as details are finalized but we wanted to let the Class know as soon as possible about these scheduling adjustments.

 

We clearly are disappointed to have to make these changes, but the health of our members is the obvious priority.
