FROM YOUR PRESIDENT Dear sailor friends and others affiliated with the 2.4 mR class, I am delighted to be with you again after a break of 6 years! Thanks to the retired president for the interest and time he has spent in favour for the class and the international community. At the moment we have one over helming task in our hands, the One Design issue. It seems to be an endless discussion with ISAF but we, the Executive Committee and the One Design Committee, think that we will reach a breakthrough this winter and hopefully have a clear standpoint from ISAF until the next AGM in Hoorn in September. Meanwhile the work with the Notice of Race for the 2010 Worlds is going on together with the organizing club in Hoorn, Netherlands and will be available before spring to start the entering procedures. Also the contacts with 2011 Worlds organizers are established and the planning is started in Aalesund, Norway. So, until we meet again next season on the courses I wish you all, on behalf of the ICA and myself a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR!!! Yours truly, Karl Wessberg
John Ruf 2009 World Champion
John Ruf  USA	US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics’ John Ruf is the new 2.4 mR World Champion. Portsmouth, R.I. (November 5, 2009) – 2008 Paralympic Bronze Medalist John Ruf (Pewaukee, Wis.) clinched the 2.4 mR World Championship a day early today, with one race to spare. Ruf, a member of the US Sailing Team AlphaGraphics’ (USSTAG), won the 44-boat, open fleet, beating 2008 Paralympic Gold Medalist Paul Tingley (CAN) and 2009 IFDS Disabled Sailing World Champion Thierry Schmitter (NED). Schmitter also won the 2009 2.4 mR National Championship last week at the same venue. Held at the Edison Sailing Center on Caloosahatchee River in Ft. Myers, Fla., the 2009 2.4 mR World Championship includes four days of competitive racing for the world’s best able-bodied and disabled 2.4 mR sailors. USA’s Carl Horrocks also clinched silver today, while the rest of the competitors have one more race tomorrow. “I’m in shock. I’ve never won a World Championship,” said Ruf. “It’s pretty humbling, knowing all those people on the trophy. It’s pretty impressive company to be in.” Ruf won three out of 10 races this week, and after dropping his two lowest scores -- an eighth and 11th -- Ruf’s worst finish was only fourth. He said he never once looked at the results board throughout the week, so he didn’t realize he mathematically had a chance of winning gold today. “I focused on taking one race at a time,” he said. read more
