A Modern, Easier Way to Confirm Your IFDCO Membership 5 (1)

To make our membership-processes more future‑ready, reduce unnecessary effort, and avoid issues with forgotten or lost membership cards, we are moving entirely to a digital solution.

We will no longer send out membership stickers, and the traditional membership booklet will be discontinued. Your IFDCO membership is now verified exclusively through the IFDCO App.

Your national secretaries will confirm and activate your membership directly in the app.

What you need to do:

  • Load the IFDCO App in the App-Store (Apple App Store | Google Play Store)
  • Register in the IFDCO App with your profile.
  • Select the role “IFDCO Member”.
  • Your national secretary will then approve your membership.
If you have your membership number at hand, perfect — but it’s not required for the first registration; you can add it later on – but please make sure to have it for the next Worlds.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any trouble registering. We are still optimizing the process and the look & feel of the App.

New IFDCO Class Rules 3.7 (3)

Dear IFDCO Sailors,

As of March 1, the new IFDCO Class Rules are in force. These updated rules provide a solid and practical foundation for the years ahead, while remaining true to the traditions and principles that have long defined our class.

The rules have been rewritten using the latest World Sailing template. This brings greater clarity, consistency, and alignment with current international standards. In addition, a separate document has been created in which all measurement instructions are brought together in one concise and accessible reference, making the process clearer and more practical for sailors and measurers alike.

The development of these rules is the result of dedicated work by Tanja Heijink-Bausch (NED) and her technical team. Special thanks go to Ioannis Remoundos (GRE), Paul Hemker (USA), Bill Bernard (USA), Kai Schaeffer (GER), and Meike Greten (GER) for their valuable contributions. We would also like to express particular appreciation to Peter Hinrischen (CAN) for providing the original drawings, and to André Verkooijen (NED) for carefully redrawing one of them to meet current requirements.

All remaining changes are documented in detail in the CRC document, which we encourage you to consult for a complete overview. With these new rules in place, the class is well prepared to move forward—grounded in its heritage and ready for the future.

Mainsail and Spinnaker

Included / additional notes:
I have a mainsail and Spinnaker for my old FD which I sold well over 15 years ago and these sails were unfortunately stored in my garage loft. Whilst they may not be brand new and ready to race they are in overall very good condition and very serviceable. I have 14 photographs but their size means I can’t load onto this site
