Second day for the 470 mixed class and the giant 51 Trofeo Princesa Sofia Mallorca was up to full strength for the first time on a windy Bay of Palma today as all ten classes raced with all eight race course areas in action with 1015 athletes racing on a total of 779 craft. 

It’s hard to recall a time in Olympic sailing that has seen so much change all at once. Aside from the technical changes to equipment, there has been a big game of musical chairs across the Olympic fleets as sailors look to form new partnerships, sometimes in different classes from their Tokyo 2020 campaigns.

When a reigning Olympic Champion in the 470 says, “That was a big day,” then it really was a Big Day. Winds gusting to 25 knots, steep, nasty waves, and it was a full-on game of survival in one of the most seaworthy of Olympic boats.

Palma, Mallorca will be the host to a new era of Olympic sailing competition starting this weekend. Taking place from 1-9 April, the Hempel World Cup Series at the 51st Trofeo Princesa Sofía Mallorca Regatta is bringing together more than 1,000 of the most accomplished sailing athletes from every corner of the world to compete at the first Hempel World Cup Series regatta of the new Olympic cycle. 

March 21st was the final day of the "38th Doshisha Week" which was held in Lake Biwa with two races sailed in northeastern winds. Six races sailed in three days with Keiju Okada / Miho Yoshioka winning the 470 class.

Information regarding logistics, transportation, accommodation etc. for the 2022 470 European and World Championships are now published.
 

Since 2006, the 470 International Class has been prioritizing commitment to support young athletes and emerging nations through its development and support activities.  Please find the 2022 support program below. 

The Spanish duo of Jordi XAMMAR / Nora BRUGMAN win the first place in the 2022 MSC Regatta and Lara VADLAU / Lukas MAEHR from Austria took the second place. The Italian team of Marco GRADONI / Alessandra DUBBINI came third. Congratulations!
