Just in time for the World Championship in Argentina, the Website of the International Cadet Class Association has got a fresh new look.

We redesigned the website to provide better information for Cadet sailors, parents and coaches, as well as for people who are new to the class.
The new website is a work in progress and not fully complete yet. Therefore it is worth to come back from time to time.
If you have any questions or comments, please email the Webmaster.

The ICCA Executive Committee wishes everybody a merry Christmas, a happy New Year, and fair winds for the sailors at the Worlds in Argentina.

ISAF have approved the rule changes voted for by the MCAs in August 2009. The ISAF approval document which identifies the changes and the class rules which include these changes can be downloaded on the Class Rules Page. With effect from 1st December 2009 these rules replace the earlier rules.

Since many years the ICC was trying to revise and reformat the old Class Rules in accordance with current ISAF standards. In 2008, Will Henderson took over this job and together with the Technical Committee worked out several rule change proposals. At the AGM in August, the Member National Associations finally voted for 102 class rule changes and clarifications. Based on these changes, Will compiled the draft rules and brought them into agreement with ISAF in numerous meetings and phone calls.

The ICC is happy to publish the new Class Rules and Measurement Forms as of March 2009. We thank Will Henderson and the Technical Comittiee for their great work!

You can find the new rules and a brief summary of the major changes on the Class Rules Page.

In spite of very cold temperature, rainy weather on Saturday and a very frosty Baltic Sea 36 Cadets from Germany, Poland and Czech Republic participated and where rewarded by sunny weather and good sailing conditions on Sunday. The races were dominated by a fight between one Czech and two Polish boats for the first three places. At the end the Czech boat Jiri Paruzek and Katerina Hálová could win the event.
