The Notice of Race, including the Application Form and Entry Form, for the 2016 420 Team Racing World Championship taking place on Lake Garda, Italy, 31 August-3 September, has been published and entries are now open.
Hosted on the same waters of Lake Garda as last year's event, the Team Racing World Championships has proved itself as an attractive formula for young 420 sailors, with a strong line-up competing in last year's debut event.
The entry fee of EUR1,700 per team (6 x sailors, 1 x team leader, 1 x coach) includes the provision of all boats, with support from Nautivela who partnered with the 420 Class to provide all equipment, accommodation and meals for the duration of the Team Racing World Championship.
The Championship targets 420 sailors aged 20 and under in the year of the event, with three skippers and three crews making up each racing team, and a maximum of 4 persons of the same gender per team. A maximum of twelve national teams can compete, with no more than two teams from any one nation.
Interested teams should complete the Appplication Form, which is attachment 2 in the Notice of Race and submit it to the Organizing Committee on info@campioneunivela.it by 31 July 2016. Once invitations have been issued by the Organizing Committee payment of entry fees is due by 22 July.
