Following a meeting between the International Mirror Class Association executive and the wonderful organising committee at Sligo YC it was decided that with the uncertainty caused by COVID it was necessary to postpone the next World Tiles due to be held this year. In the hope of providing some certainty with the new proposed dates, the executive and Sligo have agreed on July 22-30 2023. South Africa have agreed to defer the following World title until 2025.

World Sailing has been asked for approval.

The executive would again like to thank Sligo YC for their gracious assistance and co-operation in this difficult decision. The hope is that member nations will be able to use the extra time to rebuild fleets and expertise that have been severely impacted by the pandemic.
