DDG-Commodore Dr. Helmut Schmidt (DTYC) wurde heute zum Vice-Chairman der IDA gewählt, Vasily Senatorov (RUS) ist der neue Chairman. Wir gratulieren! 
"Beim AGM in Paris wurden am letzten Wochenende alle aktuellen und wichtigen Punkte behandelt. Dabei waren die Diskussionen teilweise kontrovers, die Gesprächsatmosphäre blieb jedoch stets sachlich. Mit einer Rekord-Beteiligung dürfte die Veranstaltung im Yacht Club de France in die jüngere IDA-Geschichte eingehen", sagte Helmut Schmidt kurz nach seiner Rückkehr aus Frankreich. (cn)
