IODA Cancels 2020 Asian & Oceanian Championships

IODA has been informed by our Member and organizer of the 2020 Optimist Asian & Oceanian Championship that they have made the decision to withdraw as the host of the Championship this year.

We would like to thank our Member, the Yachting Association of Sri Lanka and the chairman of the Organizing Committee, Joseph Kenny and the many members of the Organizing Committee for all their hard work and support in the planning of the 2020 Asian & Oceanian Championship. We respect their decision. 

Unfortunately, the hosts of the 2020 Asian & Oceanian were unable to reschedule the event in 2021 and 2022.  We hope that they will bid to host the championship in 2023. 

As a result of the withdrawal of the host, the IODA Executive Committee has cancelled the 2020 Optimist Asian & Oceanian Championship.
