USA Morgan Black International Competition - No Australia

Maverick · Guru

Another case of the ARYA not supporting international competition between classes in which the ARYA may, heaven forbid, need to make a decision?

Hello Folks,

I have been receiving numerous calls from concerned skippers seeking information on the Morgan Black competition. In the absence of a NCC, I ask all skippers to direct your questions to the ARYA Executive as they now have full control over the class and they are the only people that can provide accurate information regarding the any proposal to conduct the event.

Sadly, this also applies to our friends in New Zealand who are seeking this information.

ARYA contact can be found on the ARYA website: www.radiosailing.org

If you are able to clarify any points, please share your information and help keep the EC12 community informed.

Thanks for your interest and good luck,

Bob

Hi Folks,

Once again I regret to be the bearer of bad news however, Australia will not be hosting the 2012 USA "Morgan Black" International competition.

Due to the protracted delay with administrative procedures between the ARYA, the former EC12 NCC and AEC12OA President, the time frame could not ne met.

Given the Interim constrains placed on the AEC12OA by the ARYA, I doubt if Australia will be given this opportuntiy in the near future. Hopefully the new EC12 NCC will be able to follow on in Perter footsteps and re-enter negotiations with our friends in the USA and New Zealand.

Regards,

Bob.
