Launch of the F18 European Tour 2026

–

F18 European Tour 2026 officially launched

This might be the best marketing & promotion action the IF18CA has taken since its conception. Too many years concentrating in rules changes and protocol.

We need a proactive Class management to spend less time with internals papers & officials titles and more on the water actions and promotions like this new European Tour.

This initiative though, came from outside the Exec Co, Victorien Erussard, the new French Assoc President is the sailor behind the idea and was joined by the organizers of the Barcelona & Hellevoestius stops.

The 2026 Worlds will held next weeks in Australia, thus the Old Continent will organize a Europeans as major regatta of their season which will be part of this new tour.
(AUS Worlds dates: Western Australia • 27 Jan – 3rd Feb , web: https://f18worlds.com/)
