The International 29er Class Association is dedicated to promoting fun and competitive sailing through its dynamic 29er class. Established in 1998 by Australian skiff designer Julian Bethwaite, the class has rapidly evolved from 200 to over 3,000 boats worldwide. It organizes and supports major championships, including the World and European Championships, prioritizing safety and excitement on the water while adhering to strict one-design control standards.

This ensures all teams compete with identical equipment, fostering a level playing field for both genders. With increasing participation, particularly from all-female crews at recent events, the 29er class cultivates an inclusive environment that encourages skill development and lifelong passion for sailing. The class has also been instrumental as a proving ground for future sailing champions, many of whom have achieved Olympic success.

Join the 29er community to experience thrilling racing and the vibrant camaraderie that defines this exhilarating sailing class
