Iordanis Paschalidis & Konstantinos Trigonis, 2018 European & World Champions
Sailing in general and F18 in particular belong to the (very) few disciplines where the opportunity is given to pure amateurs to compete with top world athletes, from round the world racers, like Franck Cammas, to America’s Cup skippers, like James Spithill & Glenn Ashby, and 2019 Worlds will not bend the rules : please have a look at the shortlist below.
So do not hesitate to join the 125 teams who already registered to enter next world event to be sailed in La Ballena Alegre from 27th June to 4th July, deadline being by 24th June… You won’t regret !
