The event will run in two blocks:
- Block A (3rd–6th April): Nacra, iQFoil, 29er
- Block B (7th–10th April): ILCA classes, 420s
NOTE: the 420 Class will be 7th - 10th April. We are discussing holding some pre-event training but you should not that this is unlikely to be at HISC due to Block A taking place. More details to follow.
