General Assembly | Meetings | ISAF | World Sailing | Official Website : David Kellett (AUS)

The first Medal Races will be held at the Aquece Rio - International Sailing Regatta 2014 on Thursday 7 August with the Men's and Women's RS:X taking to the Pão de Açucar race track.

While the Aquece Rio International Sailing Regatta 2014, the first Rio 2016 test event, continues to produce thrilling races on the waters of Guanabara Bay, back on dry land it is inspiring the city's children to think about a wide range of important issues.

The coastal race on day 3 of the Gazprom Swan 60 World Championship tested the Swan 60 crews with a 30 nautical mile race around the Bahia de Palma before finishing in front of the stunning Cathedral of Santa Maria of Palma.
