The Malaysia Sailing Association application to become a member of International Radio Sailing Association has been considered by the Executive Committee and unanimously accepted.
We would like to welcome the MSA to the IRSA membership and look forward to assisting them and their organisation in promoting and developing the sport of radio sailing.
Twin M and 10R World Championships 2020
The bid for the 2020 Twin World Championships has been awarded to West Kirby, Great Britain..
Both nominations were very strong and had a variety of factors about them. As a result it has taken some time to arrive at a decision.
The IRSA would like to thank the Castiglione del Lago team and the Italian national member for their time and effort with this bid. It is a good sign for our sport and please be encouraged to nominate again in the future.
