Lorient Grand Large confirmed as host of 2024 Double Handed World Offshore Championship

Lorient Grand Large, Yacht Club de France, and the Royal Ocean Racing Club (RORC) have joined forces to host the 2024 Double Handed World Offshore Championship. The event will feature a fleet of Sun Fast 30 One Design boats and will take place off the coast of Brittany in September 2024.

The three organisations will run this mixed event jointly, each bringing their expertise to deliver a world-class competition. Lorient Grand Large will take the lead in organizing the event, while RORC will oversee race management. The Yacht Club de France will contribute a network of volunteers and control over the one-design rules.

The agreement with World Sailing covers three World Championships, with the event moving to Cowes on the Isle of Wight in 2025 and then to a venue to be confirmed in 2026.
