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.
The 2021 Optimist World Championship is organised by Fraglia Vela Riva, Riva del Garda Fierecongressi, Garda Trentino and AICO - the Italian Optimist Class Association.
