                                  Report Fons’ visit to Split February 13th till 16th

Publication date: February 16, 2010 

From Saturday February 13th till Tuesday 16th I visited Labud Sailing Club in Split again.

After a period of not feeling well about the communication I proposed a new visit, because, in my opinion, there were a lot of things to be discussed, like the spirit, the accommodation, new scoring system, website and many other things.

I was glad to be informed that now there is one responsible person within the club for our Masters Championship and this is Mr. Ivan Kuret.

We had three meetings during my visit with all people responsible for their part of the event.

Items we discussed were i.e.: Notice of Race, new scoring system, jury/measurement, website, security (on the race course and ashore), communications, the scoring programme (ZW-scoring), courses, accommodation. One of the people I met was our Principal Race Officer, Mr. Alen Kustic, who is a very experienced Race Officer.

After the meetings it was good to conclude that a lot of things are under control now and after months of being unhappy about the progress I am very satisfied now about the actions the people of Labud Sailing Club have been taking and will take in the coming months.

All my faith in a good Finn Masters World Championship is back now.

On the event website http://www.jklabud.hr/finn-world-masters-2010 there is an entry list now. You can also reach it through the button “Masters 2010” on the Master’s website you are on, now.

The Notice of Race will be published around February 22, after I discussed, with Richard Hart, a few things about the new scoring system, which came up during our meetings.

At this moment, February 16th, (I am still in Split) there are already 63 entries from 18 countries.

I kindly invite all of you to enter as soon as possible and come to Split in May. The venue is splendid and the sailing is good. Also the accommodations are ok and, as I experienced myself, the food is very good.

So: I hope to meet many of you in Split from May 21st until May 28th.

(Vice-) President Finn Masters’ Fleet.
