In some respects, a COVID-19 certificate isn’t all that different than today’s yellow fever card, which proves vaccination against that deadly virus for entry into nations where the disease is still raging. more
Overseas, the European Commission (WHO) is seeking to ease safe travel within its borders through the creation of vaccine certificates. While they would initially be used only for medical care — helping travelers who suffer any vaccine-related adverse events — there will likely be other applications in the future, according to the Commission’s Jan. 19 report.
Two tech giants – IBM and Salesforce – are designing a blockchain-powered smartphone app called IBM Digital Hall Pass that lets companies and venues customize what’s required for entry, such as COVID-19 test results, temperature checks and vaccination records. [links]
To coordinate these many efforts, the Linux Foundation is working to help develop a set of universal standards for vaccine credential apps.
“Our approach is to be responsible and pragmatic looking to what we feel confident we should be able to deliver, rather than overpromise and underdeliver. In this dynamic situation we need to minimize the risk to everyone and put ourselves in the best position to deliver safe, competitive events commensurate with the status of the world’s leading grand prix circuit.

“With this plan we feel we have an option that will deliver the maximum amount of enjoyable, competitive racing in environments we know well, with minimal travel and transport involved. It will be great for everyone to be welcomed back to these venues in Spain, Valencia, Mallorca and Menorca, which are so popular with our owners and teams where we have had such great racing over the years.”
“This has been a tough decision to take but ours is a circuit that draws owners and teams from all around the world, and while you might say things are moving in the right direction in many parts of Europe, unfortunately there is still not enough certainty,” explained Agustín Zulueta, CEO of the 52 SUPER SERIES.
With a goal of offering the highest degree of certainty to owners, teams, and venues, and the current outlook preventing early season events to an be held at an appropriate standard, the following events have been cancelled or rescheduled:
July 13-17 – Royal Cup 52 SUPER SERIES Valencia Mar
August 24-28 – Puerto Portals 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week & TP52 20th Anniversary Invitational
September 28-October 2 – Menorca 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week
November 2-6 – Rolex TP52 World Championship RCNP
May 3-8 – 52 SUPER SERIES Saint Tropez Sailing Week – Saint Tropez, France
June 5-10 – 52 SUPER SERIES Baiona Sailing Week – Galicia, Spain
July 12-17 – Rolex TP52 World Championship Cascais 2021 – Cascais, Portugal more
Online tools can help people visualise themselves on board. We noted last year at the US Sailboat Show in Annapolis how many people arrived fully informed about individual boats after viewing every available video tour of them. They were visiting the show to find out very specific information, or to meet dealers and negotiate a deal. [links]
Will virtual boat shows (above by Jeanneau) be the future?
For the time being, private viewings can meet a demand that has not abated, says Sue Grant, “But people are still looking at boats and prices are at pre-COVID levels.
But the dominance of shows may partly explain why the marine industry is so behind others in employing digital marketing tools. This is going to change; it is just a question of when.
Some manufacturers are getting wise to this. The Hylas 60 was recently launched with a 360° web tour that gives a full view above and below deck. Others are working on software typically used in the car industry to visualise interiors in different finishes.
