World Sailing to host Offshore Event Organisers Forum at 2025 World Sailing Annual Conference
World Sailing will host an Offshore Event Organisers Forum at the 2025 World Sailing Annual Conference in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland.
Bringing together key members from the offshore community including event organisers, Member National Authorities (MNAs), Class Associations and Rating Systems, the Forum aims to promote collaboration between stakeholders to support the growth of offshore.
Matt Allen, chair of the World Sailing Oceanic and Offshore Committee, said, “The expansion of offshore events in recent years proves there is potential for further growth and development, and also the need for greater collaboration, partnership and support within the offshore community. Our goal is to bring key stakeholders and interested observers together to share best practice and drive innovation to shape a future which is beneficial for all.”
