The Nacra 17 heads for 2032 after its best year yet
World Sailing’s Events Committee was expected to hand Council a menu of options for the 2032 Olympic slate. It sent one recommendation instead, and the Nacra 17 is in it. Council still has the final vote.
The recommendation comes with two changes the class welcomes. One is a shorter, sharper race format that non-sailors can follow on TV. The other is a shared pool of daggerboards that rotates between teams, so campaigns stop spending money hunting for the fastest foils.
On the water, season one of the LA28 cycle was the tightest in Olympic sailing. Seven regattas produced only three winning crews and seven different crews on the podium. Gimson and Burnet finished in the top ten at every event. Ugolini and Giubilei won the Worlds, then trimmed Luna Rossa to victory in Naples. And Italy now has two world class crews chasing one ticket to Los Angeles.
