Historic News: Independent Marblehead and Tenrater International Class Associations have been formed.

They will now be responsible for all matters related to the classes. A foundation membership has developed for each but any other National Class Association or National Class Secretary is welcome to apply for membership. Their sites can be found here:

After many years as Class Associations within the IRSA, the Marblehead (IMCA) and the TenRater (ITCA) Class are now fully operational as an International Class Association. The last part was the separation and agreement with the IRSA on an Associate Membership. This gives the new associations the ability to now determine its own future including the development and promotion of international events like Regional and World Championships.

In Memorium – Barry Fox

It is with a heavy heart that I am notifying fellow sailors of the recent passing of Mr. Barry Fox on Sunday morning February 16th after a year long battle with Pancreatic Cancer. His three children were with him, and his passing was peaceful.

When first diagnosed, Barry was given three months, but responded well to treatment that gave us an additional year with him. He was working right to the end on CRYA and IOM activities as Western Region Director and as IOM Class Secretary.

Barry’s influence and contribution extended far outside the borders of Canada. Barry was a long-time member of the IOM ICA Executive, serving as its Secretary for many years and his administrative support to radio sailing, diligent attention to detail, selflessness, and humor will be genuinely missed by all that knew him.

There is more on Barry with personal comments from around the world on the CRYA Web site
