The IEMA is working hard to create a strong online presence with a clear strategy to showcase the thriving Eight Meter Class.

Once completed Phase 2 will combine all the communication tools to improve online presence, while telling the story of the Class as a whole, with all the fleets and yachts.

8mr.org has become the strong base from were we build out our strategy Social Media These are the official current social media channels of the international eight metre association.

1. Facebook Page & Group

The last couple of years the Facebook group attracted a lot of attention and we will work to keep this active and let it grow even more.

We have started with The instagram account as of February 2023. and the YouTube channel is in the making

And in an ever evolving world, not only our yachts evolve over the years. Also the way we look for information changes. Therefore we are always actively looking for the best platforms to spread the information of IEMA and to engage owners, crew and enthusiasts. worldcup.8mr.org During lockdown Michiel Insinger worked many hours on a project called 8mrworldcup.com here he made 177 profiles of 8mR yachts and collected over 22 years of race results. all this data will now be incorporated into the IEMA website.

We are working very hard behind de scenes to integrate all the data on a logical and technical efficient way into the New IEMA website.

in the future every thing about the World Cup regattas will be found here
1. the next regatta with all the details to get organised
2. Info in the future events
3. Results and hopefully a report of all the past events
