Start of MOWS postponed to April

Due to the ongoing corona pandemic and the partial worsening of the situation in some countries, the planned World Cup in Palma (Princess Sophia Trophy) had to be moved to late summer. As a result and due to the claim of the MOWS organizers to ensure the health of all sailors, the decision was made to postpone the MOWS events to starting in April. Travel restrictions to France currently include an exemption for athletes training for the Olympics or for Olympic preparation events. Nevertheless the organizers stick to a detailed hygiene concept and are working in close coordination with all relevant authorities to ensure the health of everyone.

 

 

In order to continue to embed the series in the SOF Hyères, the races will be postponed to the following dates:

 

- MOWS 1: 09-11 April (Marseille to Hyères)

- World Cup Hyères: 17-24 April (Hyères)

- MOWS 2: 07-09 May (Hyères to Marseille)
- MOWS 3: 14-16 May (Marseille)

 

All events can be booked here.
