Junior World Champion Title for Women Granted by ISAF
The Council of the International Sailing Federation (ISAF) has amended Regulation 18.3.(b) as proposed by the formal submission put in by the 470 Internationale (slightly amended by the Council in respect of a technicality issue) and, by doing so, all the International Classes have now the right to deliver 4th World Champion title provided that it is exclusively reserved to youth (or junior) women sailor as defined by the Class.
So, next year, at the 470 Junior World Championship a specific title will be granted to our female sailors, making by that a further step forward in supporting the female sailing in the 470 and in all the International Classes.
A warm thank goes to all the 28 ISAF Council members who, with their vote in favour, have made this possible.
