This started with the competing bids between ITA and GBR for the world championship in 2020. Some people may remember the presentations during the M/10R world championship in Biblis 2018. Then Covid crashed every plan and the world championship in GBR 2020 was cancelled. The Italian crew nevertheless continued their work and planned for an European Championship in 2021 which was approved. But again because of Covid it was postponed first to 2021 and then to 2022. In parallel IOMICA moved its events around to get something up during these Covid times. A lot of background mail traffic was going between all the organizations involved and this has led to a new approach which can now be announced:
- To avoid 3 world championships (IOMICA and ITCA/IMCA combined event) in one year
- In the future return to one year of IOMICA worlds and one year for IMCA ITCA worlds
- Covid forced the Italian Management team to move the event to 2023
The ITCA/IMCA Executive Committee therefor asked the Italian Management Team to change the 2023 event to an World Championship to come back to the proposed schedule and they accepted this approach.
So, we can announce now again a combined World Championship in Marblehead and Ten Rater Class in Italy
Castiglione del Lago, Italy
April 23rd to May 3rd, 2023
further information will come soon when website and more information is ready to publish.

The current health situation is complex and many countries are suffering a resurgence of the Covid virus. Some travelling international restrictions have already been set in place and it is not possible to foresee what could happen next European spring.
The Marblehead and 10 Rater ICA Executives are in agreement with the organising committee of the 2022 combined European Championship to take the decision to postpone the event.
The two classes would like to thank Circolo Vela Castiglionese for offering to move the event and host again in 2023.
The new proposed date is from 23 April to 3 May, 2023 at the same venue.
In the meantime, there are plans for a replacement 10R event to be held at the same venue for those who can make it under current Covid restrictions.
The planning is for a 10R class three day event from 14 to 16 May, 2022 named “Nation Cup 10R” that will also include the 10R Italian Championship open to Italian and foreign skippers, in compliance with all the current anti-covid rules.
We are confident in your understanding and support in these uncertain times.
European Cup organising Committee.
