J80 World Championship Baiona 2023

The Galician fishing village of Baiona will host the J80 Sailing World Championship in 2023, following in the wake of the other J80 World Championships previously held in Spain, in Santander (2009), Sotogrande (2016) and Getxo (2019).

This new world championship awarded to Spain will undoubtedly be a unique opportunity to consolidate a class that is already one of the most numerous in the country, with around 200 units and very active fleets in Galicia, Cantabria, the Basque Country, Andalusia, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands.

Spain also has some of the best J80 sailors in the world, such as five-time world champion Rayco Tabares from the Canary Islands, world champion Pablo Santurde and runner-up Iker Almandoz, among others.

This will also be the first time that the J80 World Championship will be held in Galicia, a community closely linked to the world of sailing, which has been committed to this class for years with the holding of numerous competitions and a progressive increase in the number of this type of 8-metre yachts, which have their main fleets in Baiona and A Coruña.

The appointment with the J80 World Championship 2023 will be in Baiona from 17 to 23 September 2023. We are waiting for you!
