If you have another overriding agenda Wouter, that's fine. We all have lives to live outside of sailing. But, I'm sure you'll understand though if we just go ahead and organise something in your abscence.............
Ohh well, okay. I'll forget about my personal feedback and just give you all the official feedback.
Do what you want but :
-1- Don't get us into trouble with ISAF.
You know how they react to any unaffiliated class to announce and hold a European Championship.
-2- Don't call it a European championship unless you are able to attract a significant amount of a non-UK sailors.
This out of respect of the other European sailors who, with just as much reason, can "just do it" themselfs and claim their event to be the F16 European Championship. For your national championship you can do whatever you want, with respect to a regional championship like the Europeans you will have to win the support and recognision of the foreign sailors.
In addition :
-3- I would love to be absent in any organising with respect to a EU F16 championship. I've done more than my share over the last 5 years. Sometime that is often easily forgotten. I'm looking to bail as a class official and spend a few years enjoying myself as a regular class member.
-4- I don't have "another overriding agenda"
Good luck to you guys !
Wouter
