More Doubt over 2012 World Dates

Just in case people have not seen Simon Payne's comment on my last Blog post, he says that there is a request to move the dates of the Worlds by those involved in the Olympics/Paralympics.

Whilst I understand their predicament, I do think it is a little late now to move the event, bearing in mind that some will have taken holiday and booked accommodation (I have not yet thankfully). These dates have been in the public domain since January of this year so why did they not request a date change sooner?

I do hope that Luca Rizotti gets the Worlds website up sooner rather than later so that we can end this speculation as I am really looking forward to this event.

Edit: Since I wrote this Luca Rizotti has replied to me that they are indeed considering changing the dates because some Olympic sailors have suddenly realised that the two events are quite close. I hope you have not booked anything yet!

  1. Hi Graham,

    Do you know if the venue is still Campione?

    Cheers,

  2. Sorry Phil no I don't know. All I know that we are trying to fit the UK's Moth calendar round these Worlds and the Italians are talking about moving them at this late stage.
