APPENDIX VIII
FD WORLD & CONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
NOTICE OF RACE
Note:
Since 1990 the FD Class has made
a number of changes to the way Championships are organised. The IYRU is
now called the ISAF. ISAF has issued many guidelines relating to the
organisation of championships. Furthermore the Racing Rules have been
simplified and renumbered.
The Byelaws are currently under review and an updated version of these
Championship Rules will be released when approved by the IFDCO General
Committee at the AGCM 2004 (See IFDCO Byelaw 1.2.2)
Any queries regarding the
organisation of FD events should be addressed to IFDCO VP Championships (see
Class Contacts)
NOTICE OF RACE
Items marked X shall be inserted in the ""Notice
of Race'' or ""Invitation''. The IYRU at its
meeting November 1982 decided that the only
Sailing Instructions that can be used at the FD
Continental and World Championships shall be the
IYRU Sailing Instructions Guide (Appendix 12
IYRU RR).
The IYRU gave approval to the FD class to alter
the FD Rules accordingly (see FD
