What's the status of next years schedule? Any timeframe when it will be published?

At the moment, the only regatta planned for next year is the Mark Foy Trophy (the most important regatta of the class), from the 29th to the 4th July in Carnac. 2 other events will be organized in addition, a 4 days one before the Mark Foy and one after, in August or September. I hope to have the full calendar published by end of the year

Hello, Patrick,

is Travemuende an idea for a international regatta?
They want us back and they do a lot. This year we had fantastic conditions and I try to negotiate with them to have a better race area, not so near to the beach.
dates would be 18th until 20th of july (if we want also 21th of July).
How about that?

greetings Norbert

I would say that for 2009, it is not fitting well in the calendar. We decided finally to have only 3 european event, including the world in Carnac, so one event before in May or early June, Carnac in early July and then an event in August or September.

Travemuende would be around 20th July I guess, so IMO to close from Carnac and then we will have nothing for the year ... but the year after why not ...

If you want to make Travemuende more important, I would suggest you to establish it as the German National Championship, as the idea is to have 3 European and for the teams who want to make more race, to join National events

Cheers
