⛵ Two big championships. One exciting 2027 season!

Mark your calendars for the two highlights of the international O’pen Skiff season:

🇮🇹 European Championship
📍 Arco, Lake Garda, Italy | 1–4 April 2027

🇩🇪 World Championship
📍 Travemünde, Germany | 23–30 July 2027
Part of Travemünder Woche, with championship racing from 26–30 July.

With national calendars full of great events, we’re giving sailors, families and clubs more flexibility to plan their season. There will be no EuroChallenge Tour in 2027 as the International Class focuses on making these two championships memorable occasions for our whole community. 🌍

There’s still plenty of sailing to explore! We encourage sailors to travel across borders and join local and national regattas—and we’re happy to share those events with our community. Send us your event details so we can help spread the word!

See you on the start line in Arco and Travemünde! 🙌
