Women's Match Racing World Championship Explained

The Women's Match Racing World Championship is arranged by the International Sailing Federation. With female match racing included in the 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition for the first time this section of the sport is growing in popularity.

History

The first ISAF Women's Match Racing World Championship was held in 1999 in Genoa, Italy after having been held at the 1998 ISAF World Sailing Games in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.[1]

For the 2010 edition the Sonar was used.

In 2011 and 2012 the class used was Elliott 6m as preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympics, where Elliott 6m was an Olympic sailing class.[2]
