Etchells

CLASS NEWS

• Nationals News

  Those who entered the January 2022 Adelaide Nationals have been informed that the event will not go ahead as scheduled. The IECAA and Adelaide Fleet are disappointed about this, as are the skippers and crews who were looking forward to taking part. However after consultation with Fleet Captains across Australia it was clear that there were an insufficient number of competitors to justify holding the event. Fleet Captains and members have indicated this is for a number of reasons, including the remaining uncertainty around border closures for some states, as well as the fact that many are considering other activities with their families after a long period of COVID lockdown.
  
  

  We are confident Etchells regatta sailing will become more viable over the coming months. We'll use our December Fleet Captains meeting to explore alternative options for holding a Nationals in 2022.
