p.s - When are skippers eligible to race? As Euro Stars Team skippers are we eligible to race immediately even if we changed teams?

Hi,

This team is not connected to a nation, as of the new VTC rules.
Can you please give input on the team status?

Harald for the RC

hello Harald,

please change team name to Euro Stars Team - Italia

Sailgood and MMario are admins for this team.

thanks,
Darren

Good, 1 more member needs to be connected to this team.

Cheers,
Harald

Hi Harald,

Unluckily for our team only, this new rule does not suit us and we request to make inactive all our teams.

regards,
Darren (Junior MALTA)

p.s - thanks for forcing our team out of team racing under this new rule!

we have been able to form an Italian team with the following members:

Team name: Euro Stars Team Wolves which will represent the country of Italy:

MMario, Italy, (Mario) Captain
Miraggio, Italy, (Damiano) Vice Captain
Gudi, Denmark, (Jan) international member
Kris, Denmark, (Kris) international member

thanks for your time,
MMario

Hi Mario,
It seems that it might be a problem with an italy/denmark team.
Multinational teams are in principle only accepted when one of the countries is too small to form a seperate team. Do you think this is the case for denmark?

We still wait for your statement.

Aussiemites have an interest in what happens with the Denmark team as we have the possibility of having a new member who would be ineligible if Denmark have a full team.

This needs to be soughted please.

Team Europe thinks Denmark has seen teams on the water with more members available then larger sailing nations.

Denmark has 2000+ sailors. She does not need a smaller country to make a team, let alone a larger country.

Australia is considered one of the larger sailing countries she does not need a smaller country to help out.

Italy too is considered one of the larger sailing countries she does not need a smaller country to help out.

Expect protests as soon as other teams feel they are disadvantaged by a team that sails in a constellation that
may violate VTC 1.3 (note country size is precondition to the "may" decision of the VTC RC in VTS SI 1.3 )

To avoid protests we advice Italian, Australien and Danish teams to consider citizenship OR team membership since 2009 only.
(I might add being able to proof citizenship and or teammembership may be necesarry.)

When and if ANY team for what ever reason gets an exemption make very sure this exemption is included in the regulations governing the event the team is participating in.
(I may add that exemptions may lead to protests against RC on basic principle e.a. )

Cheers,
Theo (Admiral, Capt. Team Europe)

The VTC RC got no feedback from EST Italia on our request. However the race committee has come to the conclusion that Denmark does not qualify for exemption under the second and third critaria of VTC SI 1.3.3.

We have learned that there are many Danish skippers interested in participating in WTRC and team racing in general, so we would encourage these skippers to group together as a Danish team.

Hi Holger,

We have contacted the Danish guys and have been informed that most probably they will setup a Danish team.

We request to keep the team active and keep it's original name! The team name will stay as Euro Stars Team Italia. We are trying to recruit at least 2 other Italian skippers and will let you know asap who they are.

Till now the team is composed by MMario and Miraggio. (Both admins)

thanks and regards,
Darren

Ok, currently listed as EST Wolves, as requested by MMario.
Will change to EST Italia if that is your preference.

Harald
