Team Selection process/policy
Unlike other youth class boats, only the top sailors from each country can attend the World Championships and the Junior European Championships each year.
Each country is given an allocation of number of boats. For 2024 the World Championships took place in Brazil in January 2024. Therfore, as with previous years when there is a World Championship in the Southern Hemisphere there will 2 championships in the Summer in Europe; one being the Junior Europeans. This will provide sailors with the opportunity to race twice over the summer at two International events:
1. Open Europeans - no age restriction (2-10th July 2024 in Portoroz, Slovenia)
2. Junior Europeans - U19 only (21-28 July 2024 in Thessaloniki, Greece)
Application for 2024 Summer Teams
