1 , IJmuiden To Mr.Dieter Matysik, Last year 2013 ( June ) I spoke with Mr. Peter Schaft about the WC In this conversation I found out what Peter wants for this WC, in his perfect WC the section is not split while Peter is still member and vice president of Naviga. But I told him in June already that this will nort be possible to organise because of the times we live in and that in this crisis sponsor money is hard to find. But I can understand we have to go for the perfect WC. When the months passed by, I ask Peter a few times how things are going about the WC, in August he said it is very hard to find a country who can get the right papers and area. This is when we said to him we can give him the option to do FSR-V in Haarlem. The reason why we cannot do all the classes is simple: We have few people who can make time for this long event, Half of the people have there own business. And we all agree ( kmbc ) the event will have a better quality when we can make A perfect Week of FSR Racing. When I told this to Peter he was happy with this option, and would think about it. The options: Dessau and England where in First place the best options for naviga, because they would do FSR-V-H-O. When in november it became clear that these options where not really realistic, We thought we have to do action for the hobby. So i Started making an Plan for an WC in Haarlem. We did a Meeting with the club members, I convinced all the members this will be a great event and a need for the hobby. After this meeting I asked Peter Schaft what to do to make this an OFFICIAL request to Naviga. The answer was clear: He said in these words, Evert you have to Call the ANSF ( the Dutch boat federation ) that you ( KMBC ) want to do an official request by naviga for FSR-V WC. The Secretary of ansf said to me, OK i will make the

2 papers official and give them to Peter who will take them to the Naviga meeting. So in my opinion the request was officially done from us. When we found out Dessau didnt have the right papers and England couldnt get the money together we where thinking it would be split and we have an WC fsr-v haarlem. But this was not the way things were going. When we had our club Evening ( we have every 2 weeks ) Peter was also there. I asked him about the request we did for the week FSR-V, the answer was that he didnt had a OFFICIAL request from ANSF. When i asked about Nico ( sercratery ansf ) if he did not give Peter the Papers, the Answer was no i didnt get anything from Nico. The next morning I called Nico, and asked about the request and his contact with Peter. The story was that he called Peter about it and he could make the papers in a few days ready for an official request by naviga. This is the point where Peter said to him dont do this request because i have 2 options already, so i wont present this to Naviga. I never got a Phone Call after this. So when i told Nico that Peter didnt have the request he told me that peter didnt want it. So now there is no WC. I also understand there was a vote at the naviga prasidium meeting about allowing a split of the sections for FSRV H & O to hold seperate championships. If there was a vote then it should be made public so the boaters know how the vote went. I presume there is evidence of this in the meeting papers held by the secretary. Peter told me 2 days after the meeting he tried to split the sections ( so we have WC haarlem ) but the naviga say NO. I made again an offer last week to Peter to split the sections and we can manage to do an WC haarlem this year He said no we wont split, but we can do the wc FSR-V in haarlem This is to late i said. And what is the Reason that it can be split in 2015 but not in 2014? This is the point were i wanted to do some action to save Naviga and our Hobby, I am 24 years and want to do this hobby as long as possible. There are

3 more people who will give everthing to save the hobby. Let me tell you about our club and some friends i spoke with about organizing this WC. We have an very close club with all friends, in First place not everybody was thinking positive to do this wc, but after my big presentation to the members they were all on the same side. We have an great lake here ( i can say the best in europe ) the conditions are allways the same and there is engough space for racing. We also have an contract for the next 5 years, we can use the lake only for our hobby every day. From 8 in the morning untill 8 in the evening. With the Presentation about the WC i First did some lobby by other boat racers and people who are long time in the hobby. I got lots of help from england by Ian Folkson And Katarina, they made me an list what the needs are for an WC. When i put this list together with the other list i made myself, and the list i got from my friends in germany the list would be complete and nothing forgotten. We organize every year at least 5 or 6 races, and every year an INTERNATIONAL race. We have around 240 boats this event in 3 days of racing. I will give you my presentation, unfortunatly it is in Dutch and i didnt have the time to translate this in english or german. When you want me to do this i will do it. here is my opinion about this all: Now that some people stand up for the hobby ( dessau team ) and want to do a different organisation, i think this is not the right way. Because the federations will be split and half will go to FSR World and half will stay at naviga, so we have no more an big group of people who want to share their hobby. We have to do something about this and not in 2015, because then the damage is done. If Naviga will Agree to split the Sections and will go into this offer of Haarlem, i will make the official paper work done as soon af possible. I see no problems in this because the ANSF is happy with us we organize this many races for them and the contract for the Lake is already signed. But i cannot go out and ask for the official papers from ansf and the owner of the Campside because First i need to know sections will be split. If we not split the sections then we will have more problems in the coming

4 years to find a country who is willing to do all the classes, and what would the quality of this WC be?. When we do split the sections i am sure more countries are willing to do FSR-V week or FSR-H and O week. We would have an FSR-V WC 2014 and an FSR-H-O in The qualifiers keep there place and we will have qualifications in 2015 again for fsr V and H and O for the next World champs. The reason why some things take so long for decissions, i think Peter has always been good for the naviga but now it is for sure a problem things stand still and his english is not that good with all the respect, he might get some things not right because of this. It is for sure i understand Peter correctly and he understand me, this for the simple reason we have the same language. We have to go for a great World Champs, with a organisation who is doing there best they can, so the champs is the biggest race again in our hobby. For sure we all have no big sponsors and the hobby costs only money, but then still we have to go for a high quality Race. But this is realistic when spliting the sections. Thanks for your time. When you need some more information, you can send me an to: evertderonde@gmail.com or call by: or post me on facebook on the name: Kmbc Spaarnwoude. If this all goes in the direction to do a split and try to go for Haarlem, then i can allways come to oberhausen for a conversation. Also if you want to talk to Ian Folkson head of the FSRV part he can give you the views from the racers point of view Ian.folkson@btconnect.com Regards, Evert de Ronde jr. with on my side Evert de Ronde sr ( president KMBC )
