Plymouth offers a variety of sailing areas with consistent winds and challenging tides, providing an ideal environment for competitive racing.
As one of the world’s oldest and most renowned sailing destinations, Plymouth has a rich maritime heritage and a long tradition of hosting prestigious sailing events.
Plymouth has the necessary infrastructure and facilities to accommodate a large-scale international sailing event, including marinas, boat yards, and ample shoreside amenities.
Plymouth is relatively easily accessible from various parts of the UK and Europe, making it a convenient location for participants and spectators alike.
The local sailing community and authorities in Plymouth are enthusiastic and experienced in hosting major sailing events, ensuring a warm welcome and efficient organisation.
The picturesque coastal setting of Plymouth, with its historic waterfront and natural landscapes, provides an attractive backdrop for the World Championship.
The event is being organised and hosted by a joint committee from Plym Yacht Club, Hooe Point Sailing Club and the UK Nacra 15 Class Association.
Founded in 1970, Plym Yacht Club is one of the leading sailing clubs in Plymouth. Situated on the shores of the River Plym, the club has an active racing scene. With its deep-water moorings and excellent race management experience, Plym Yacht Club regularly hosts high-profile regattas and national championships.
Originally formed to make sailing and boating affordable, we are a small sailing club based in Plymouth for Civil Servants, family and freinds. With the biggest dinghy fleet in Plymouth, Hooe Point Sailing Club enjoys great competitive Monday night summer racing and Saturday morning winter racing around Plymouth Sound.
“To be running our second World Championship in as many years here in Plymouth is needless to say groundbreaking. Plymouth Sound being full of Nacra 15’s flying around from across the world is truly going to be a sight to behold.”
