Looking forward great 2020 Worlds

Class President just went visiting 2020 Worlds venue in order to prepare our pinnacle event, aiming to make competitors stay enjoyable, and registration process as smooth as possible, providing F18 sailors with a memorable regatta.

The least we can say is that our Italian friends did a great job, thanks to Costanzo Villa and team. Site visit ended with a press conference at Formia City Hall, where it has been self-evident that the whole Formia/Gaeta community was fully supporting event organisation, from local governing bodies to sailing clubs, going through Italian Sailing Federation, Coast Guards, and press.

Notice of Race will be published early December, and registration will start then.
