Board of Governors Approves Euro & WH&O Deed of Gift Changes

The SCIRA Board of Governors recently reviewed changes put forth from both the European and WH&O General Secretaries as a result of suggestions from their respective National Secretaries and sailors to improve each hemisphere event.  Both Deed of Gift changes resulted in  an increase in participants with the European Championships now open and the WH&O now able to open more qualified entrants.  However, the Board rejected the change of race times suggested in the WH&O Deed of Gift from 40-55 60-75 minutes and continues to support the enforcement of  the 60-75 minute race recommendation time to be consistent with the rest of our Championship events.
