ISAF, verso l’eliminazione del Gruppo 2

ISAF – Southampton – Facendo seguito alla decisione assunta dalla Conferenza Annuale, l’ISAF ha annunciato importanti cambiamenti al Codice di Classificazione dei velisti a partire dal primo aprile 2010. In pratica la Federvela Internazionale ha decisio di eliminare il Gruppo 2.

La classificazione dei velisti è un servizio curato dall’ISAF e regolamentato dalla Regulation 22. Dopo una lunga consultazione con i velisti, le classi e gli organizzatori degli eventi che fanno riferimento al Codice di Classificazione, il gruppo di lavoro nominato dal massimo organo mondiale in fatto di vela ha proposto al Council, trovando immediato appoggio, questa scelta radicale.

La normativa relativa al nuovo Codice di Classificazione – consultabile sul sito internet dell’ISAF – verrà illustrato con appositi seminari e sarà presto disponibile in più lingue.

All’inizio di gennaio un’apposita commissione contatterà i 450 velisti attualmente appartenenti al Gruppo 2 per comunicare come e secondo quali criteri avverrà la loro riclassificazione.
