RIP Pat Healy - Former IFA Vice President 

This is because we risk safety if we sail. In addition, when we sail these sailings, we of course want everyone who has registered to be able to participate. The decision has been made after negotiations within XSS and the Finn Association.
We will try to find another date for these sailings. We will get back to you about this so you will have the chance to say whether you can join the new opportunity or not. Of course, we will refund the registration fee to you if you cannot participate.
Really sad that the weather sometimes causes it. But we hope to see you at a new proposal for this year's sailing with us within XSS.
Kind regards P-A Liljedahl, Sailing Leader
