 The
2005 World Championships will be held at Östersund, Sweden (6-13
August).
We are aiming to send
a big GBR team and win the Championship. Potential travel arrangements
and sponsorship are being explored. The hosts are hoping to organise
reasonable cost accommodation within walking distance of the Sailing
Club and an exciting social program to make this a holiday to remember.
Craig Bond has agreed
to be Team Manager, building on his experience in a similar role
for the 2003 Worlds.
