Details.
Described below are details for the organisation for a Laser Youth European Championship & Trophy (LEC). This information is intended to assist you in the preparation, planning and making a bid to host the LEC.
Normally, the LEC would consist of the European Laser Radial Youth Championship and the European Laser Standard Youth Championship. However, in 2013 the World Laser Standard Junior Championship will take place in Europe, therefore no separate European Laser Standard Youth Championahip will be held. You will only be bidding on the European Laser Radial Youth Championship & Trophy.

With an expected entry of 280 sailors of which 20 – 25% will be female. Run over eight days the event is made up of two days for registration and measurement, followed by four days of qualifications and concludes with two days of finals before a prize giving ceremony.
When submitting a bid you should provide a full budget: Available for download (below) is a budget spreadsheet that is suggested as the basis of your budgets. Organisers shall provide a minimum of three budgets based on the minimum, maximum and expected number of competitors. If there is a requirement for a variable number of race areas then further budgets should be provided for each increment in race areas. You will also need to complete the Bid Document (below).
