Competitors' meeting1994 In conjunction with the World Championship events (Helsingfors Segelklubb, Helsinki, Finland).

The Olympicformat Theundersigned explained theresultsof the meeting0f the CPOCWorkingParty0n the "FutureOlympicRegatta", heldon 4 August, 1994,the keypointsbeingas follows: Fleet racingon fivedays,with two racesper day and a grandfinal;durationof eachrace:1 hour;Olympictrapezoidcourse;complete pre-racemeasurement; low point,system; maximumnumberof boats:35 for men,22 for women.Withthe exceptionof the grand final which was opposedby a narrow maiority,participantsexpressed their great satisfactionoverthe resultsof the Workine Partymeeting.

A large maiority of competitors attendingthe Helsinkimeetingopposedthe ideaof a GrandFinalduringthoseregattas, although all other regatta competitors shouldalsosailtheirlast raceon [he same day.The prevailingopinionwas that the GrandFinalwouldnot be helpfulin anyway whatever, with regardto the mediawhich maypayno attentionto sailracinganway. The use of a doublebottom mark shouldbe takenintoconsideration.

The method of calculationof the IYRU RankingLists, as implemented on 1 January1994,was modifiedat the IYRU November meetingsas a resultof experience and input from competitorsand National Authorities.The revised system addresses a numberof inaccuracies that havebeenfounddurins its first yearof operation.
