The Cadet World Championship event takes place from July 27 to August 9 and will see teams of young people aged from seven to 17, competing over a full week of exciting sailing to be crowned world champion. Sailors will be working hard to be selected to represent their countries at events during the spring of 2024 and then will be sending their prized cadet dinghies to the UK for this prestigious event.
Over 200 sailors are set to take part in the event, with competitors coming from as far as Australia and Argentina, along with European teams from Germany, Belgium, Poland, The Netherlands, Ukraine and the Czech Republic.
Emma Hooper, chair of the International Cadet Class Association (ICCA) said :-
“I’m delighted to see the Cadet World Championship back in the UK, where the class has such a rich history.
“The Cadet is a truly unique sailing dinghy – we believe it is the world’s only international junior, three sail, two handed class. The class has a positive, friendly culture, where lifelong friendships are often forged. It also creates fantastic sailors, many of whom have gone on to win Olympic medals.
It is indeed the training class of champions! I am looking forward to some exciting racing, and fun on and off the water, in Plymouth in August.”
The event is being hosted by Plymouth Youth Sailing Club at The Mount Batten Centre.
