Fifteen nations and a fleet of up to 30 Para Sailors are expected, with mixed male-female crews under the age of 25, who will race for four days to become the first ever U25 Para Sailing World Champions.
The event will take place in the RS Venture Connect sailboat, an existing class of Para World Sailing equipment with seated control system and World Para Sailing racing specification sails.
