This is the first ever 49er & 49erFX Oceania Championship, and the event forms part of the Continental 49er Circuit going forward. Perth hosted the world in 2011 and 2015 is another great chance to sail these fantastic waters.

The Oceania Championship is the second of two events for sailors to compete in. There are around 25 to 30 49ers and hopefully around 15 FX’s. This is not counting international teams. International teams are very welcome to take advantage of the great sailing/training/living conditions.

With the Australian Championships (28th Dec – 3rd Jan) and Oceania regatta we have 2 very good regattas for teams to be involved in and we are really excited to be hosting these events.

Lanzarote chosen as host for 2024 49er World Championship

The Pathway to Paris passes through Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain, as the World’s best skiff sailors will race for the 2024 World Championship in one of the final lead-up regattas to the Olympic Games. Lanzarote has long been a fixture of the pro windsurfing and offshore sailing communities but became a hub for Olympic sailing during covid times as teams found a secure and isolated location to continue their training. What they found was a wonderful climate with all wind conditions possible and wonderful sailing waters.

The Canary Island Sailing Federation also rose to the challenge and started hosing Olympic class racing with great skill and passion for the sport. The 49er class is excited to put this wonderful test forward to the skiff community. From February 27 to March 3, 2024, top teams will race with high stakes. It is likely to be used as a selection regatta for many nations seeking to award their Olympic berth to just a single team from their nation.

2015 Oceania Regatta NOR

This event is open to 49er and FX. This event will be held on the beautiful Swan River at one of Western Australia's premiere yachting clubs. The sailing conditions on the river are fantastic and the club provides an excellent venue to race and train from. Escape the winter cold of Europe and get quality training and racing in sunny Western Australia!

Key points to note-

Perth is hosting the Youth Nationals this season which finishes on the 10th. By having our closing day on the 11th, we can promote the medal race and final races to all the youth sailors to come and watch. The club has a great viewing area to watch racing and is quite a natural theatre. The club on Sunday’s has live music and usually around 300 people attend for the day with great food, drinks and atmosphere. We believe having our medal race on the Sunday and presentations will provide great promotion for our class and racing. Should be a great atmosphere and if the youth sailors support the event there could be at least 500 people to watch the medal race.
We are looking to make sure we have a good social calendar as well. We want to attract as many overseas sailors as we can and want to make it worthwhile for them to come all this way. We want them to have great sailing but also a great time away from home. Mindful that their major focus is racing but we want them to feel welcome and enjoy our hospitality.
In terms of participation, there should be around 25 to 30 49ers and hopefully around 15 FX’s. This is not counting international teams. We are very keen to have lots of different international teams competing and believe we offer great sailing/training/living conditions. With the Australian Championships (28th Dec – 3rd Jan) and Oceania regatta there are 2 very good regattas for teams to be involved in and make it worth their while to make the trip.
