RS Aero European Youth Team Racing Championship
Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy
27-29th October 2023
International competition, youthful camaraderie, late season sun and all set within the wonderful culture and backdrop of the exquisite Sardinian city of Cagliari!

After the hugo success of the inaugural first RS Aero Youth team racing event at Cagliari, Sardinia in 2022 the Italian RS Aero Class together with the Sardinian RS Aero fleet will build on the event they have created with the support of the regional Government!

Cagliari Marina provides a fantastic team racing venue being both sheltered and perfect for spectating. The climate is still very nice at the end of October and the venue is very easily accessible with Cagliari International airport within a couple of miles. Racing will take place in RS Aero 5s again to be as inclusive as possible - team racing is about precise sailing skills and tactics at low speed, rather than going fast with power.

Teams of two sailors will represent countries, with the conventional two teams in each race format. Each team is to consist of a male and female youth sailor, under the age of 22 years on the 31st December 2023. Multiple teams representing each nation may be possible. Teams will will compete through a qualification series to progress to finals.

Friday 27th October will be a warm up day with the race days being Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th October.
