France cancels its World Cup of Vaien and Vigo is running for summer 2022

The international class will again have World Championship in the Vigo era after two years without the maximum event
The International Committee of Vaurien, meeting in emergency through video conference under the chairmanship of Italian Maurizio Raffaelli, has accepted the final cancellation of the 59 Vaurien World Championship, postponed in 2020 by the pandemic and which had been postponed to this summer.
The health situation in France has now made the Societé des Regates de Le Havre desist from hosting the championship, although it will be reconsidered to be the 2023 World Cup. The new Gala candidacy does not affect Vigo World Cup 2022. "In 2020 we accepted that the World Cup of Vigo 2021 was delayed a year before France could organize its World Cup, but we also expressed to the other members of the committee that by 2022 we had a commitment with institutions to move it forward," said Antonio Pérez, "Tone," president of As Vaien Spain for a few months and boosted with the Royal Nautical Club of Vigo to get the river to a record fleet.
The meeting of the VIC, which "Tone" attended representing Spain, confirmed Vigo's headquarters by 2022 and proposed this year to conduct an international test, called "event," for the fleet.
The Nautico will propose next day 15 to the International Committee that Vigo be the venue of summertime. The VIC was thinking of organizing it in Italy (Lake di Garda) or Germany, but Tone Pérez, president of As Vaien España, will present Vigo's candidacy, after having received the approval of the president of the Nautico, José Antonio Portela. The Viguese club wants the Ria de Vigo to be an international reference in the coming years in terms of high quality tests.
This race, which would occupy a weekend, would be extended from July 19 to July 25 by using the first three dates for an international "clínic," a fourth day of promotion of the city and from Friday to Sunday the competition. "It is a golden opportunity," said the Vigo regatist, very satisfied with the support of the president of the centenary Vigo club.
This Saturday, Vigo will know if the VIC approves his proposal. At the last meeting, representatives of the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Angola, Italy and Germany, as well as Spain, also voted.
