The Paris 2024 sailing test event runs from 9 to 16 July 2023, and is a dress rehearsal for the next Games and will feature all ten Events with only one entry per nation in each of the ten classes as per the actual Paris 2024 event.
The venue will of course be at the Marseille Marina and the racing areas will be in Rade Sud de Marseille all as proposed for the actual Games in 2024.
Also as intended the regatta will consist of an opening series and a medal race or medal series. The top ten ranked boats at the end of the opening series of each event will progress to the medal race or medal series.
