The NZIODA Committee have been informed by IODA that the dates for the 2022 Optimist World Championship in Bodrum, Turkey has been revised to 27 June to 7 July 2022.
Also, IODA have informed NZIODA that due to the insurgence of the COVID Omicron variant in Korea and around the world and the challenges with international travel as a result, the 2022 Optimist Asian & Oceanian Championship will NOT take place as scheduled from 29 April to 6 May until later in the year. Dates to be confirmed.
The NZIODA Committee have taken the decision in light of the above changes to alter the ranking criteria for entry into IODA events for 2022 and the results of both Interislander and Nationals will count towards selection.
With this weeks’ announcement of NZ going to RED in the local traffic light system, we yet face disruption to our ranking regattas. How we operate Regattas under the Red light is under review now and will continue to be looked at in the coming weeks.
NZIODA will work to provide timely advice to keep you informed as the national situation develops, and how this is going to impact our local Community.
