Hi guys and thanks for the warm welcome.
As far as the information about capetown RYA was also on the long mailing list but their information to you seem to suck...
I found the following information on the Norwegian federation site;
Kalender 2005
CLASS II NO CHAMPIONSHIP
PRO VEE NO CHAMPIONSHIP
CLASS III - 6 Litre Italy
CLASS III - 4 Litre Italy medio sept
V24 NO CHAMPIONSHIP
CLASS III - 2 Litre SOUTH AFRICA February 2005
(requests from Italy and UK)
CLASS III - 1.3 Litre SOUTH AFRICA February 2005
(requests from UK and Sweden)
so it looks that U.k have been interested in organising the championship for 2 litre as well with Italy.
My bet would be anyway that we find ourselves somewhere in Italy in middle of september,it is allmost a tradition
How they allways manage to get somekind of a championship I don`t know.This is anyway just my guess.

It is not impossible for us to come to U.K either.Anyway travelling to U.K is much more expensive for us than going for ex. to Italy.They don`t have the entry fee and do even pay somekind of travel money as you know.
Last time and ( only time so far) we were in U.k racing was in 2000 E.C in Cowes.Entryfee had to be paid and there was no travelmoney.It was impossible to discuss the entryfee even that there wouldn`t have been any championship without us because we were the only foreign participant in 2 litre.
Anyway if the championship will be organised in U.K the organiser should give this a big thought.It might play a big role to get foreign participants.
