66 World Cup 2005 ISMA News International 6mJI Association Dear Friends and Six Metre Sailors, With winter almost behind us we are all turning our thoughts to the activities of the warmer days ahead and another season of 6 metre sailing. The Swedish sailors have not been frequent communicators or contributors to this extraordinary bulletin but we would like to take this opportunity to make up for absent lines by introducing our summer 2004 events and next years World Championships 2005 in Sandhamn, to all our fellow sailors. We are delighted to be hosting the WC next year and we are now in full swing planning and preparing for the event, which we have started to promote to 6 metre sailors world-wide. Last year was a success for our modern fleet with 1st and 3rd in St:Tropez. Our classics have been struggling with few boats but are now on the move increasing the fleet steadily for the Worlds on home waters. Swedish 6mR Association have big plans for the WC 2005, which is also an important event for hosting yacht club The Royal Swedish Yacht Club (KSSS), celebrating their 175th Swedish 6mR Association March 21st 2004 year anniversary 2005, making the KSSS one of the oldest yacht clubs in the world. The WC races will be organised as a joint venture between the Swedish 6mR Association and KSSS who are exceptional keen regatta organizers. The course will be set outside the island of Sandhamn with exiting open sea racing in water famous for it’s excellent racing conditions hosting numerous regattas each year. The main theme of the World Championships will be “a historic event”, covered by modern techniques! In line with our theme we are producing a hardback book featuring all participating boats, boat history and highlights from WC in Sandhamn. Only teams racing at the WC 2005 will have access to this “one off” exclusive hardback 6mR book. Nordic Metre sailing date back as early as 1906 when the International metre rule was implemented. For almost a century the Nordics have kept this long lived traditional type of sailing alive with Finland and Sweden in particular adding boats to classic fleets and Sweden contributing with some of the top designers in the world using their expertise to improve designs and help developing the metre rule to it’s present form. We estimate to have, at least, 50-70 entrants on the start line and to meet our targets we have appointed ambassadors for each 6mR-country. Their task is to get in contact with local teams and boat owners, supply them with information and assist in anyway they can to get each team to the Worlds in Sweden. A few selected people from our committee are already raising funds and speaking to sponsors. We hope, if all goes well, this will lead to a fully sponsored WC including media, web casting, big screens at the event and a social events diary to be remembered. And there will be something for everyone after racing… Aftersail” with big screen entertainment, the chance to compete in 2.4 metre match racing and, for the young at heart, radio controlled sailing boat rallies at the marina. (An evening events diary will be released in the near future). Location: KSSS Yacht Club, Sandhamn “Tavern of the Swedish Seas” Pre- Worlds Tune Up!

ISMA News International 6mJI Association Bulletin 1/2004 Closing Comments If you find a lot of interesting comments to technical questions and proposals to rule changements it’s a natural thing. The passed winter month gave us time to think about the future of our class. The reports about this seasons sailing and racing 6mJI will be in the autumn edition of the ISMA news. But now we will enjoy a nice sailing season, with some thrilling races by best winds and a lot of sun. We wish our readers all the best and success. Kind regards Schlusswort Conclusion Wenn diese Ausgabe der ISMA News mit viel interessanten Beiträgen zu technischen Fragen und Vorschlägen zu Regelanpassungen vollgepackt ist, liegt das in der Natur der Sache. Die vergangenen Wintermonate haben uns Zeit gelassen, um über die Zukunft unserer Klasse nachzudenken. In der kommenden Herbstausgabe werden wir vermehrt wieder über die aktive Regattasegelei zu berichten haben. Nun freuen wir uns auf eine spannende und lehrreiche Segel- und Regattasaison mit viel Wind und Sonne. Dazu wünschen wir unseren Lesern viel Erfolg. Mit besten Grüssen Beat Furrer ISMA news/site editor President of Swiss 6mJI Association Vous l’aurez constaté à la lecture des pages qui précèdent, cette nouvelle édition du Bulletin ISMA est truffée de contributions intéressantes concernant des questions techniques et de propositions visant à amender certains Règlements, qui ne semblent plus correspondre à la réalité actuelle. La chose n’est pas étonnante, puisque les mois d’hiver passés nous ont laissé le temps de réfléchir à l’avenir de notre Classe. Dans la prochaine édition d’automne, nous traiterons bien entendu davantage de questions sportives (régates) et de voile. Nous anticipons déjà avec plaisir une nouvelle saison de voile et de régate venteuse et ensoleillée, qui sera, nul n’en doute, passionnante et nous permettra d’apprendre encore bien des choses intéressantes. Nous souhaitons donc à nos lecteurs beaucoup de succès et de plaisir à bord de leurs bateaux.
