!! RS Tera Worlds 2021 cancelled !!
We are very sorry to announce that the RS Tera Worlds 2021 are hereby cancelled. We have worked for 4 years to make this event, but the consequences of the recent rise in COVID19 cases internationally have made it infeasible and unsporting to host a World Championship at the present time. We were happy to see travel becoming easier for many EU countries, but for the UK, South Africa, and several other relevant countries, increases in case numbers have prompted the Danish government to impose new severe travel restrictions. New restrictions as of July 17th place nearly all parts of the UK on to the worst “red” status when entering Denmark.
The impact has been a significant reduction of the number of entries to the Tera Worlds 2021, especially from the UK. We cannot make a RS Tera Worlds with only 30 participants without sailors from the most relevant Tera communities. It does not make sense from a sporting perspective- and from a rational perspective, neither is it economical.
We will fully honor our commitment to reimburse paid entry fees as provided by NoR section 4.4. We will reach out to you - otherwise contact us at [email protected]. We will reimburse the full fee paid, and this is expected to happen fast and surely at the latest before the end of august 2021.
RS Sailing are taking similar steps to fully reimburse charter bookings. For any queries on this, please contact [email protected].
The host club SKB (Sailing Club Køge Bugt) in Denmark are still firmly committed to supporting the national and international RS Tera sailors and will be happy to host future Tera championships like a Tera Worlds - in a time with less Corona-stress. We will in general continue to work together with the RS Tera International Class Association and RS Sailing to make future Tera races of high quality.
The RS Tera AGM planned to be held during the RS Tera Worlds will be postponed to Wednesday, September 22nd. Invitations and joining instructions will be sent out to class members by the international class association in due course.
We thank you all for your support and enthusiasm for , and hope to be able to welcome you to Greve very soon.
On behalf of SKB
