Entries submitted by the March 29 deadline will benefit from the discounted entry fee, which includes berthing at the regatta site, trailer storage in designated areas, and access for all competing crew to official social functions, including the opening ceremony, crew party, and prize giving. Please note that entries are only considered valid once payment has been received and confirmed by the organizing authority. Teams submitting payment via bank transfer are asked to include the boat name and full sail number with national letters in the transfer details to ensure proper processing.

With strong early interest and momentum building across the fleet, teams planning to compete are strongly encouraged to take advantage of this extended deadline and complete their entry as soon as possible.
