Optimist World Championship Gets Ready to Welcome Youth Sailors to Italy
11th May 2021
Fifty nations have confirmed their presence for the Optimist World Championships in Italy in June
Just over a month to go before the start of the most awaited youth sailing event in the international sailing scenario, the Optimist World Championship: after the postponement of the regatta in 2020, Riva del Garda, Italy is getting ready to welcome the best young sailors of the World.
A provisional entry list published by the organisers here shows Ireland with five sailors entered but 'details pending'.
With registrations still open, fifty nations have already confirmed their presence for the World Championship that will start on Wednesday 30 June in the waters of Lake Garda (Italy): considering qualifications, team races and finals, the participants will be engaged in an intense series of regattas that will end on July 10th, when the winner of the 2021 Optimist World Championship will be proclaimed, successor in the roll of honor to Marco Gradoni, record holder in the Optimist Class for having sealed three World Championships in a row.
