Important Information for Corinthian Worlds Competitors

The IMCA is constantly striving to ensure that Melges 24 events are run to the highest standards and to that end we have improved the entry and registration procedure for Corinthian Competitors at the forthcoming 2008 Volvo Melges 24 World Championship in Porto Cervo. If you intend to race in the Corinthian World Championship please note the following important information:

1. The absolute final entry deadline for Corinthian entries is 1st May. No late entries will be accepted.

2. Entries for the Corinthian Division must be accompanied by full crew listings including the ISAF ID number, Classification and Expiry Date for every crew member. Any entries which do not include this information for all crew members cannot be accepted into the Corinthian Division.

3. Mr Antony Matusch, Chairman of the ISAF Sailor Classification Committee, is working with the organisers of the 2008 Volvo Melges 24 World Championship to oversee the administration of the Corinthian entries. As part of his work Mr Matusch will be in attendance at the event and will be interviewing skippers and crew members from all Corinthian entries during the registration period. Details of the interview schedule will be published as part of the registration documentation and all Corthinian teams are reminded to make sure they check this schedule and ensure they have completed their interviews as required.

4. A time limit for protests relating to Classification issues will be set and further details of this will be published in due course.

5. If you have entered the Corinthian Division this will be indicated by a "Yes" in the last column of the Entry List displayed on www.melges24worlds2008.com. Please ensure that you are correctly listed and if you have any queries urgently contact the organisers on E-mail secretariat@yccs.it.
