AMSTERDAM SET TO HOST OLYMPIC STARS AT HEMPEL WORLD CUP SERIES REGATTA

ALL EVENT INFORMATION


Competition takes place from 31 May to 5 June in two venues. Almere will host the five ‘boat’ classes while further north, Lelystad will be the base for the four brand new foiling classes which have been introduced for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. There is a real sense of excitement around the new events in the Olympic sailing line-up, not just the gravity-defying spectacle of flying at in excess of 30 knots above the surface, but for the radical race formats that bring more excitement to the final day of competition.

Asian countries - India in particular - are well represented in some of the more technical events. The Dutch Olympic regatta has always attracted a high international entry, and now with the move from the traditional venue of Medemblik closer to Amsterdam, there is a drive to bring the thrills of Olympic competition closer to the public. The Hempel World Cup Series at the Allianz Regatta is part of a brand new initiative called Dutch Water Week, whose aim is to expose the public to the world of watersports and to encourage more people to get involved in sailing and other activities on the water.

THE BOAT CLASSES (IN ALMERE)

The Allianz Regatta has attracted a high number of entries from Asia including in classes where Asia has not been that well represented in the past. India, for example, has entries in the Nacra 17 foiling catamaran fleet as well as in the 470 Mixed. The 470 fleet has entries from as far away as Japan, Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and Australia. However the team to beat is from Spain, Tokyo 2020 Olympic bronze medallist and SailGP skipper Jordi Xammar, crewed by Nora Brugman. This new pairing dominated round one of the Hempel World Cup Series in Palma two months ago and will be hard to beat at this regatta.

The Hempel World Cup Allianz Regatta for the 470 fleet will run between 31 may to 4 June at Almere, Marina Muiderzand.

Seventeen 470 Mixed teams from seven countries are ready to go out on the water and do what they love the most!
