MIXED OFFSHORE WORLD SERIES TEST RUN 2021
Although World Sailing and with it the worldwide offshore community still has to wait for the final decision of the International Olympic Committee until May 2021 at the latest, the Mixed Offshore World Series will start in spring 2021 together with the World Cup (WC) SOF Hyères.
In the first test run season 2021 of the Mixed Offshore World Series two one-design boat classes will be used at the same time. Therefore the racing will lead into three separate results for three one-design boat classes - handicap ratings are not included.
The allocation of the boats - which team will sail on which boat - will be done within the first stage from Marseille to Hyères in a lottery procedure. From there on the boats will be allocated to the results sailed - for the exact procedure see the Notice of Race.
Within the World Cup in Hyères two qualification regattas (short/medium distance) and one final (3 days/2 nights) will be sailed. The finalists will then sail on yachts that are on the short list for Paris 2024 (L30 or other alternatives if possible).
For the following seasons the Mixed Offshore World Series is to be extended with a large number of nations and teams on a uniform boat class.
