Santander 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships
The best sailing talent will be on show and as well as world titles being awarded across ten events, 50% of Rio 2016 Olympic Sailing Competition places will be won based on results in Santander.
The regatta format will be the same as for the 2016 Olympic Sailing Competition, featuring an opening qualification series and a final series with the top ten in each event proceeding to the Medal Race where the final positions will be decided.
"The Medal Races will be sailed in front of the Prince Felipe High Performance Sailing Centre (CEAR),” said Echave.
”The dynamic and action-packed race will be a fantastic show for the spectators on the water, those on the shore and those who will be following it through devices around the world.”
