Les Kearney, the National President of FFIA has written:
Dear Member
In my recent letter I suggested that the 2020 FF nationals in Queensland become part of the selection process for the 2021 Worlds. This was prompted following a request from the Worlds Organising Committee to shorten the length of the 2021 National Championship, thus making this committee concerned we would not have enough time to complete a series based on our by laws requiring a minimum of 5 races, due to external influences.
RFBYC have re-assured the FFIA committee that we will have the invitation race on completion of the measurement and a further 4 full days allocated for the Championship.
On this basis we can revert to the status quo and the Worlds Qualifying will be a single event, being the 2021 National Championship.
Yours Sincerely
Les Kearney
President

The sun finally shone at Esperance for Day 3 of the 2019 Flying Fifteen WA State Championships, sponsored by Gemmill Homes, and the fleet was rewarded with gentle to moderate offshore breezes of 8 to 12 knots for the final three races of the championships.
Race Officer John Taylor, as he had promised the night before, kept the variety coming, with three different courses set for each of the races.
