The 2024 49er World Championship in Lanzarote will be delayed by one week from the original plan to occur from Marc 4-10, 2024. There was a conflict in the global sailing calendar, and there was no problem for the class to shift a week to clear away the conflict.
The 2024 Worlds will be a key event in the lead-up to the Paris Olympics, and this shift should allow for the best possible racing for our sailors.
Sailing Aarhus, International 49er Class Association and International Nacra 17 Class Association are pleased to invite the 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 classes to Aarhus for the 2022 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 European Championship from July 1 to 10 in 2022.
The championship will be situated in Aarhus International Sailing Center in Aarhus Yacht Harbour close to the city centre, while racing will take place in the Bay of Aarhus only a few nautical miles east of the harbour. Learn more about the venue and facilities on www.aisc.dk/.
