Also due to organizational problems, we need to announce that the ISWC African Continental Championships can not be held in Walvis Bay this year. We are just working on a format that allows a smaller competition with Grade C status for all our competitors in Namibia and South Africa.

The PKRA Worldcup in Walvis Bay is affected as well, but we are working hard to realize this world cup event in cooperation with the Luderitz Speed Sailing World Record attempt. More news on that to follow soon.
