Dear Soling Sailors, family, loved ones and friends.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, the year 2019 came to an end and many of us will, if they aren't already, be busy with holiday preparations.

Apart from Solings in southern and warm countries, most boats are hopefully packed up and stored safely to avoid the harsh winter weather. Nevertheless our mind, if not fully occupied with winter sports, is already back on the topic of wind, water and sailing action at both our “usual” and newer locations worldwide.
A new year soon will come and the ISA hopes that all your wishes comes true, and within more sailing, at home and traveling and newer sails therefore with a crescent anxiety desire to improve at the results sheet with friends on board, lots of fun to compensate the hard work done every day.

The year that just passed by left us with positive sensations, like:
- the big fleet grow in France after their excellent World Championship organization, or
- the great sailing that is usual at Lake Garda in Italy, or
- the return to one of the first Olympic weeks at Kingston event in Canada with our North American championship, or
- the newest event in league concept organized by the Brazilians that will repeat this year early in April.

2020 will begin with teams in South America traveling to the ocean in February; people are realizing that surfing with the Soling it really changes the game or at least the sensation. Then continue with major events either in Brazil and Argentina to then receive the guests at the Friendship cup (League concept) at the VDS (Yacht Club that just turned 85 years old), after these the season in Northern hemisphere jumps out of the box with the North Americans, the earliest continental event, in April to be held again at the Severn Sailing Association in Annapolis. Then the European Championship will take place in July in northern Germany (Warnemuende), and in September the Worlds will be once again in Milwaukee (USA). The South American Championship will be in October, Buenos Aires downtown, integrated in the BsAs week.

Xmas and Happy New Year !!
