IRSA

With sadness we note the passing of Ian Vickers, a good friend, talented sailor, and keen competitor. Our thoughts are with his family and may he rest in peace.

Both the Marblehead and the 10 Rater International Class Associations have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with IRSA and are now full members of our organization. Additionally they, along with the IOM International Class Association, have placed a representative on the newly formed “Classes Committee” whose Chairman is a voting member of our Executive Committee.
