Team Selection process/policy
Unlike other youth class boats, only the top sailors from each country can attend the World Championships and the Junior European Championships each year.
Each country is given an allocation of number of boats. For 2024 the World Championships are in Brazil in January. It is expected that the team will be restricted significantly due to the logistics of taking boats to Brazil. NOTE: As with previous years when there is a World Championship in the Southern Hemisphere there will 2 championships in the Summer in Europe; one being the Junior Europeans. This will provide sailors with the opportunity to race twice over the summer at International events.
