by ISAF on 2 Jul 2015 Returning to the waters of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, entries are now open for the fifth and final stop of qualification to the centrepiece final in Abu Dhabi (UAE), 26-30 November.

The Qingdao regatta on the 14-20 September has open entry available which presents a great opportunity to make the starting line up in Abu Dhabi at the conclusion of the 2015 Sailing World Cup Series.

As well as a chance to qualify for the final, where the 2015 ISAF Sailing World Cup winners will be crowned, there is also the opportunity to pick up World Ranking points in this 200 point regatta.

ISAF will again be offering sailors the chance to get their hands on a share of the €150,000 prize pot that will be split between all classes that make the minimum participation requirements.

Entries are filled on a first come first served basis with a maximum of 40 boats per class, and ISAF is also making available containers to ship your boat for a highly subsidised rate to Qingdao from various stops within Europe.

The Qingdao regatta organizers are also making available a number of 470s and Lasers, free of charge, but again on a first-come-first-served basis. To enter, a helm shall request an invitation for the ISAF Sailing World Cup Qingdao.
