Cesenatico, April 6th, 2015
Cesenatico - Italy: Stefano Casadei wins the 41st edition of Vele di Pasqua in A Class category and the Città di Cesenatico Trophy.

The 41st edition of Vele di Pasqua didn’t turn as well as expected. In these days, in fact, the horrible weather conditions made it impossible to sail. Two races took place only Saturday, even though the sky was completely cloudy and partly it rained.

Cesenatico , March 28th, 2015

Italian Assoc reports that Guido Pirrini has passed away.
It is with great sadness that A Cat Italia reports that Guido Pirrini has passed away on last Saturday after a short illness: nor his physical strength nor his great courage have been effective against this fate.

The Brazilian A-Class Association has base in Sao Paulo, at the Guarapiranga lake/dam. They have a mix of designs racing together, all having fun as I could see from Ronaldo Fernandes, owner of an 18yrs old Marstrom the first A-Class arrived to Brasil (photo Below), was named also vice president for next period.

From Argentina we already are in contact with them, and we will try to organize an event together in the future.

I was waiting to have digital results on this event to publish, but they never appeared, instead we received a way better material in the end with a complete report and pics by the the organizer and the Champ of the 2015 Hall Spars Admirals Cup.

Siracusa, March 23rd, 2015

Siracusa (SR): Helmut Stumhofer wins the Cat A Italia National Race, organized by the sailing club Ortigia.
The sailing club Ortigia organized the first National Race, which was held last weekend in Siracusa and, very surprisingly, the podium was conquered only by German helmsmen.

As always complete & detailed by Bob Griffits & the Australian Assoc / www.a-cat.org.au:

"The NSW A Class Championships were held over the weekend of March 21st and 22nd, straddling the Southern Hemisphere's Autumn Equinox. 26 boats from New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria, converged to the South Lake Macquarie Sailing Club to compete in a proposed 7 race series.

Last Friday I went out on one of my almost daily summer sessions here in BA: 8 to 12 knots excellent conditions. Equipped with a Gopro mounted on a helmet I filmed some rides where I'm trying to control the new downwind foiling mode.
It is not an easy thing to do, and you need lots of sailing hours and foil/winglet trim.

US Association & SAIL NC through its Chairman, Peter Johnstone have placed a bid to host 2016 Worlds at SAIl NC, where the 2014 North Americans were held. Located near the Outer Banks the place offered great sailing conditions and near by surfing sessions at the local breaks.

Dear Landy & IACA Board:

"SAIL NC would like to host the 2016 International A-Class World Championship in Manteo, North Carolina.

Dear Presidents,

The official web site of the WC 2015 is now www.aclassworlds2015.it

The championship is OPEN, it means there are no limit about numbers of entries, and in case of more than 120 boats, the fleet will be split into two different.

NOR Link http://acatworld2015.it/notice-of-race.html
That's the reason of the NOR point 4, because the organization must to know the number of boats in advance.
