GC32 RACING TOUR 2020

14 de July de 2020 By Bora2020

With the entire sporting world having been brought to a temporary standstill this year due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, the GC32 Racing Tour has also had to revise its schedule for 2020. During a recent multi-nation video conference between the Tour’s organisers and ten of the foiling catamaran teams, a fresh plan for the 2020 GC32 Racing Tour was agreed upon. The new, inevitably abbreviated schedule for what will be the seventh season of racing for the World Sailing-approved flying catamaran class, assumes it will be possible to hold racing in southern Europe from August onwards. Following the cancellation of the GC32 Oman Cup, originally scheduled for March this year, it comes as little surprise that this month’s event on Lake Garda is having to be postponed. The GC32 Riva Cup was set to be the second event of 2020, taking place at the end of May, but has now been delayed to October. Similarly, the GC32 Lagos Cup in Portugal has been moved on from its original June date, to the end of August. The GC32 World Championship, due to take place in Villasimius in southeast Sardinia in mid-September, has been postponed until 2021. So this season the organisers of the GC32 Racing Tour will stage two stand alone events: 26-30 August GC32 Lagos Cup / Lagos, Portugal 14-18 October GC32 Riva Cup / Riva del Garda, Italy
