World Sailing launch Paris
2024 Mixed Offshore explanatory film
For the first time in sailing’s Olympic history, a
Mixed Two Person Offshore Keelboat event will be on the programme at the Paris
2024 Olympic Sailing Competition.
The Mixed Two Person Offshore Keelboat will join
kiteboarding, windsurfing, multihulls, singlehanded and doublehanded dinghies
and skiffs, promoting the diversity of the sport. This in turn will support
World Sailing’s desire to promote and grow universality in all disciplines and
increase female participation with gender equal medals and athletes.
To showcase the event and how it may look at Paris
2024, World Sailing has launched a promotional film which is available to view

More than 70% of the globe is water – sailing’s field
of play – and offshore sailing is played out across long distances in both
light and strong wind conditions and a variety of sea states that test an
athletes resolve. Offshore sailing is the ultimate test of endurance , skill,
discipline, navigation and critical decision making.
Embracing a major part of sailing in the Paris 2024
Olympic Games will enable new stars of the sport to come to the forefront.
