INTRODUCTORY NOTE 

 

The iQFOiL Class and the iQFOiL Youth & Junior Class have been tasked with assessing a significant proposal regarding equipment adjustments for the upcoming Olympiad. Specifically, this proposal entails changing from a 9m2 sail to an 8m2 sail (allowing the 5.30 mast) for Senior Men, and from an 8m2 sail to a 7.2 or 7.3m2 sail for Senior Women and Youth Girls (allowing the 4.90 mast and both senior and youth boom).

 

Recognizing the importance of this matter, the iQFOiL Class Executive Committee has decided to convene an Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with Article 6.4 of the Constitution to ensure all members have the opportunity to voice their perspectives and present arguments for or against the proposed changes.

 

This meeting aims to deliberate on pertinent issues, including concerns regarding potential health implications associated with weight gain to meet the typical iQFOiL size, challenges faced by Youth sailors in transitioning to the senior circuit, and the evident decline in participation of young girls in the sport.

​

EGM PREPARATORY QUESTIONNAIRE

​

In preparation for the EGM a comprehensive survey has been devised and extensively circulated among iQFOiL sailors spanning from the U17 to Senior categories. Additionally, the survey has been dispatched to Class Full Members with the intention of further dissemination among their respective memberships. In total, the questionnaire was sent out over 2,000 contacts. A total of 663 answers from active athletes, ex-athletes and ex-athletes who have become coaches were received:
