The IRSA is pleased to announce additions to our Executive Committee:

Mark Dicks has accepted the role of Technical Chair. Mark is a very well known and respected designer with successful boats in a number of classes.

Graham Elliott has accepted the role of Treasure and therefore has resigned as Regional Officer – Europe.

For many years Phil Holliday has supported us as our connection to IRSA accounts that are housed in the UK. We express our sincere thanks for his years of unheralded service.
