ARC Clubs Approve Conditional Merger of ARC1 and ARC2 if Field Falls Below 18 Boats

The move responds to falling boat numbers, taking effect only if registrations stay under 18.

Overview

  • Club delegates approved the contingency on November 29 in Castro Urdiales, setting a threshold of fewer than 18 traineras for unification.
  • If triggered, the restructuring would create a larger single league in the second tier and dissolve the existing third category.
  • The application of the rule depends on the final entry list to be confirmed at the upcoming registration deadline.
  • Delegates discussed a potential race format with the top eight racing in-line and the rest in time-trial, pending later ratification.
  • Laredo confirmed it will compete in the ARC as an Open entry, eligible to score and chase flags but not to seek promotion.
