Responses to ‘RE: International Blokart(r) Raccing Association’
Hi Bruce
We will post the rules after the European Group has had a chance to give their feedback. So far we have Australia, Japan, USA, Netherlands & NZ. Spain, Belgium, Denmark and UK are underway,
Please contact your club (ABC for you) as the BAI reps have a copy of the current draft, and each country is collating their input and comments through their affiliated clubs or members.
Thanks for your interest.
Cheers
Grant
PS. Hot dogs are not allowed to be consumed in karts or thrown at other sailors (in case you were wondering).
PPS – private joke – apologies in advance

Dear Blokart Mailspaces Members,
I am aware that there are many international members in this group. This is to advise you that on Friday the (founding) international representatives agreed the first set of Equipment and Sailing Rules. The countries represented were NZ, Australia, Japan ad USA.
Since we started formulating these rules, I have also been talking and corresponding with Spain, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. The document has now gone to them for their input and feedback.
If there are other counties wishing to join the association, please let me know. If there are sailors in the countries mentioned that don't know the local representative, please let me know and I will put you in touch. There are many clubs, but no country associations at this time apart from NZ (that we know of). We are happy to assist you to form a country association, and can assist you with documentation.
Please pass this request to any other blokart® sailor that you think may be interested on holding or participating in international events. The purpose of the association is to foster participation in international events with a common set of sailing rules, so that the best sailor wins, not the one with the most money or time to tune and modify a blokart(r). A "1-class" design.
We are also in the process of setting up a program for schools, to introduce young people to blokart® sailing..
Regards
Grant Crawshay
