World Championships

The 2026 29er World Championship will take place July 2–9, 2026 at the Kiel-Schilksee Olympic Sailing Center in Germany. Held just after Kiel Week, the event will attract top youth skiff sailors from around the world for a week of competitive racing on the Baltic Sea. Known for dynamic conditions and excellent facilities, Kiel offers an exciting and challenging venue for one of the biggest events on the 29er calendar.

In 2025 the fleet travelled to Porto, Portugal for an unforgettable World Championship on the stunning Atlantic front. Over 200 teams from 26 nations battled across multiple fleets in light, challenging conditions, racing for the titles of Men’s, Women’s and Mixed 29er World Champions. The Douro Marina became the epicentre of world sailing for a week filled with drama, skill and excitement — with tight leaderboard fights, passionate supporters, and a vibrant atmosphere ashore.

in 2024 the fleet visited Denmark for the World Championships at the home of Danish sailing in Aarhus. A new record number of entries was set at 238 and the sailors once again raced for the titles of Men, Women and Mixed 29er World Champions and it was a hotly contested battle on the race course, with plenty of fun combined. 

In 2023 the class is excited to be heading to the Olympic waters of Weymouth, Uk - after some Covid related postponements. Male, Female and for the first time Mixed World Champions are to be crowned and will Spain be able to hold on to the Nations Cup and make it a hatrick. We are looking forward to a wonderful week of racing. Dates are 27th July to the 4th August 2023. There's a dedicated site for the World Championships, where you'll find all the information you need about this event.

See you all there!
