 Press Release
The double-handed dinghy events in the ISAF Youth Sailing World Championship have, for the past two years, been dominated by Australia’s star performers, but they have now moved on to the senior circuit, so this year the competition in the 420 looks wide open.
None of the 2004 medallists in either of the double-handed dinghy events will be back at the ISAF Youth Worlds in Busan, Korea, taking place from 14-23 July.
Unlike some of the other fleets, the competition in the 420 will start with sailors who are yet to fully establish themselves on the senior circuit, giving plenty of opportunities for a generation of new sailors to jump into the limelight.
