Website hosting server maintenance

The IRSA website hosting provider has indicated that they are doing maintenance on a back end server.
They have advised me that this will take place:

Start: 2023-10-12, 10:00 PM ET 
End:  2023-10-13, 01:00 AM ET

The website and forum may be unavailable during this time.

The IRSA web site and forum have been moved to a new hosting provider and platform

As of August 6, 2023 the domain radiosailing.org is now hosted on a new service and platform.
Existing usernames and passwords for the forum have been migrated to this new platform.
The login link is now at the top of the right hand pane and can be used for forgotten passwords (reset).

This new hosting service provides improved management capabilities, including an email server for the @radiosailing domain at a reduced cost from the original hosting service. The website now runs on WordPress which is more easily supported than the original site.

2023 IRSA rules and regulations

The IRSA Executive Committee has discussed, ratified and updated the IRSA rules and regulations for 2023.

The primary change is to now allow inclusion of other classes to join IRSA, such as DF65, DF95 & RG65, with their existing class rules.

We are striving to make IRSA a more inclusive organization and this is one step towards that goal.

IOMICA Executive Board updates and Events

This was just posted on the FaceBook IOMICA page now:

We would like to share some updates that we have been finalizing recently. Our Executive board got some changes with new fresh members on board, so let us all please congratulate Mr Michel Roure on his new position as Secretary. He is there instead of Mr Gary Boell who had his 8 years of service helping the IOM class so we thank him wholeheartedly for that indeed. On the previously vacant position of Measurement now sits Mr Jørn Hoelsæther who will help all of you with the measurements field of work needed for the functionality of the IOM class. Here is the updated link on the current structure of Exec.board: https://www.iomclass.org/executive-committee/
 
But also, maybe you didn’t notice our new Events page with the Events Calendar we provided for you, so here it is: https://www.iomclass.org/event/
Right now, only Europeans, Worlds and Nationals will be posted, but we are preparing ways for all other IOM class events to be added furthermore. If you have any updates on currently uploaded events, do not hesitate to contact us here or via our Events VC Mr Rob Walsh and we will gladly upload them so all of you can see more news about upcoming IOM regattas and plan your yearly schedule accordingly.
