ALL EVENT INFORMATION


The Series started in Enoshima, Japan, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic venue, in September 2018 before moving to Miami, USA in January 2019 and, most recently, Genoa, Italy in April. Top-ranked sailors are in attendance across the respective fleets, with racing scheduled to commence on Tuesday 4 June. Medal Races on Sunday 9 June will bring the 2019 Series to a close.

In the 470 fleets, 29 men's and 25 women's teams will line up for the first warning signal on Tuesday 4 June.

Medal hopefuls in the Women's 470 fleet include Camille Lecointre and Aloise Retornaz (FRA), who were recently crowned European Champions, Rio 2016 gold medallist Hannah Mills sailing with Eilidh McIntyre (GBR), Dutch Olympic qualifiers Afrodite Zegers and Lobke Berkhout and World #1 pairing, Ai Kondo Yoshida and Miho Yoshioka (JPN).

The Men's 470 will also see a fleet of world leading sailors competing on the Marseillaise waters. Since forming their partnership in December 2012, Mat Belcher and Will Ryan (AUS) have featured at World #1 for 46 World Rankings releases. Wherever they sail they are viewed as potential gold medallists and it is no different in Marseille.

Sweden's Anton Dahlberg and Fredrik Bergström, France's Kevin Peponnet and Jeremie Mion, Spain's Jordi Xammar and Nicolás Rodríguez and the five-team Japanese squad all have what it takes to beat the Australians, which will make for an intriguing week of racing.

Medal Races on Saturday 8 and Sunday 9 June will be live streamed on World Sailing's YouTube Channel here -
