Competitors meeting 0 (0)

Thursday April 5th the competitors meeting took place. It turned out to be one of the best meetings of the last 5 years (according to JB). All the attendants added something to the discussion and it turned out that we all agreed on that the boot park rules the class but has the IFDCO management to act for them. The management only can say: ‘Thanks for your engagement’. We’ll look forward to work with and for you sailors.
