Registration open for the inaugural Eurasian Inclusive Cup

Royal Mysore Sailing Club has the aim of creating a sustainable pathway for Inclusive sailing for everyone in the region. Thus, the idea to create an event to bring together sailors from both Europe and Asia at a common venue was born. 

The Eurasian Cup team are inviting all Eurasian Para Inclusive competitors for this Championship.   

To make it convenient for athletes coming from afar in Asia and Europe, they are offering free entry, free boat charter, free airport transfer, and free shared tented accommodation at the lakeside for the first 16 entrants on a first-come first-served basis.  For others, there will be subsidized hotel accommodation, starting from 30 Euro, with free local transport. 

The venue is on the shore of the Krishna Raja Sagar (KRS) Reservoir near Palace city of Mysuru in South India. Mysuru is a beautiful city famous for the Palace, silk and spice, and always popular with tourists. Mysuru is about 120km from the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. 

The event will be raced in Hansa 2.3, Hansa 303 (1 & 2 persons) and the S\V14 (2 persons) with an international Race Committee steering the event to a World Class Standard. 

Also, included with the event will be a World Sailing Inclusive Development Program (IDP), focused on developing new sailors, and fostering a legacy pathway. 

Royal Mysore Sailing Club last year hosted the Asia Inclusive Sailing Series (AISS) in Hansa 2.3 & Hansa 303 with 75 entries from 10 countries. This year, they are expecting 100 entries from 15 countries. 

The event promises to be a great opportunity for both learning and competing in a great package. The Eurasian Cup promises to be a memorable experience, and make sure to get in your entries sooner rather than later!
