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.

Oman at a Glance

Perched on the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula, the Sultanate of Oman’s stark beauty and vastly contrasting landscapes have enchanted growing numbers of tourists each year. With its magnificent desert, secret oases and breathtaking mountain ranges, Oman is an alluring destination. A tropical underwater paradise lies beneath the turquoise sea, caressing the white sandy beaches that adorn the country’s stunning 3,165 km coastline.

Alongside this natural wealth is Oman’s rich culture, which blends with modern infrastructure and historical features that span over 7,000 years. Grand forts, exquisite palaces and mystical souqs are sights to behold in the capital, Muscat. A visit to Oman makes you feel right at home from the time you arrive, until the moment you leave. The Sultanate is full of opportunities for adventure, including fascinating tours with an Arabian flavour.

Oman’s coastline is a paradise for explorers. Its abundance of wildlife includes whales, dolphins, turtles, seahorses, and flamingos. Underwater, its incredible marine life is found close to the water’s surface.

The mountains cover approximately 15% of the country’s land mass. Oman’s main mountain range is the 10,000 foot Al Hajar, which runs from Musandam in the North to the extreme limit of the Arabian Peninsula, Ras Al Had.

Sands and deserts occupy the remaining area; these include two large sand deserts – The Wahiba Sands known as Rimalat Al Wahiba and part of the Empty Quarter (Rub Al Khali). Here you can learn about Bedouin culture, camp under a dome of stars and experience the beauty of dawn in the desert.

Oman is known for its tropical climate whilst still subject to seasonal changes. From October through April, the Sultanate offers a lovely climate, with an average temperature of 23 degrees C. Combined with welcoming hospitality, warm seas and stunning landscapes, you can see why tourism in Oman is a growing industry.
