ILCA因未使用标准化模具而剥夺PSA的正式建筑商地位,以确保单一设计公正性。
ILCA stripped PSA of official builder status for not using standardized moulds, ensuring one-design fairness.
2025年8月27日起,国际激光舱协会(LALCA)因未能采用为单一设计一致性所需的标准化的ILCA主模版和工具,取消了澳大利亚快艇(PSA)作为正式建造者的地位。
The International Laser Class Association (ILCA) has revoked Performance Sailcraft Australia’s (PSA) status as an official builder, effective August 27, 2025, due to failure to adopt the standardized ILCA master mould and tooling required for one-design consistency.
这一决定旨在维护公平竞争,此前几个月一直努力使《公共服务协定》与等级标准接轨,但未能取得成功。
This decision, aimed at preserving fair competition, follows months of unsuccessful efforts to align PSA with class standards.
虽然没有业绩差异得到证明,但PSA对传统模版的使用造成了可衡量的施工差异,这与ILCA的“离岸、平等性能、一体设计帆船”目标相矛盾。 这一行动植根于维护该阶级的完整性,是在ILCA于2024年从PSA获得权利,要求完全遵守,但在新的所有权下没有满足后进行的。
While no performance differences have been proven, PSA’s use of legacy moulds created measurable construction variations, contradicting ILCA’s goal of an “Off the Shelf, Equal Performance, One Design Sailboat.” The move, rooted in maintaining the class’s integrity, comes after ILCA acquired rights from PSA in 2024 with a requirement for full compliance, which was not met under new ownership.
与此同时,21岁以下欧洲锦标赛和世界锦标赛总冠军赛等重大国际LALCA活动正在全球大力参与下开展。
Meanwhile, major ILCA events, including the Under-21 European Championships and Master World Championships, are underway with strong global participation.
