The entry deadline of Thursday 15 April for the 2010 Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship is fast approaching.
More than 300 young sailors from 60 nations are expected at the 40th edition of the ISAF Youth World Championship, which will be hosted by Istanbul, Turkey from 8–17 July 2010.
Entry forms must be completed by ISAF Member National Authorities and returned to the Organizing Committee no later than Thursday 15 April.

Sailor’s participating on the Athlete Participation Programme need to make full payment at the time of entering.

All MNA’s who have submitted a registration of interest to the organizing authority should have received the registration documents. For any registration queries please contact Events Secretary Pauline Ward at the ISAF Secretariat.
The venue for the 2010 Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship will be the Atakoy Marina, located on the European Coast of Istanbul at the southern end of the Bosphorus Strait. The Marina falls within the Bakirköy district of Istanbul, and is very well connected being just 8km from Atatürk International Airport. In 2010 Istanbul will also be the joint European cultural capital.
The racing area will be the Marmara Sea which should provide ideal sailing conditions for the championship. The predominant wind conditions in July are from the north east at a speed between 10 and 15 knots. Temperatures vary between 25ºC and 30ºC during the day and around 20ºC at night time. The sea water temperature in the summer is between 23ºC and 25ºC.
Event Director Gülden Aktugan said: “The city of Istanbul is looking forward to welcoming the world’s elite youth sailors. We are very busy with the preparations at the Atakoy Marina where the dinghy parks, regatta village and entertainment stage will all be located. We are also celebrating Istanbul as Europe’s joint Cultural Capital for 2010 and the Youth Worlds will be the centre piece for the summer’s sporting events and are working hard to encourage spectators to visit the venue and join in the festivities.”
The Volvo Youth Sailing ISAF World Championship not only provides the top young sailors from around the world with a chance to shine on the international stage – it also gives the sailing world a sneak preview of its future stars. Competitors from past ISAF Youth World Championships have gone on to hit the heights in every aspect of the diverse world of sailing. Just a couple of today’s superstars who include a Youth World medal in their trophy cabinet are four-time America’s Cup winner Russell Coutts (NZL), triple Olympic Gold Medallist Ben Ainslie (GBR) and double Olympic Gold medallist Robert Scheidt (BRA).

College Sailing: What Could Go Wrong?, by Ken Legler
Sometimes the weight helps. In last years co-ed Nationals, the heavy boat won the B division overall. Adjusting to a heavy crew works. The only problem is that there are few opportunities to compete.
F 18 to Formula 18 Catamaran
Wondering if you could change the title in the side from “F 18” to “Formula 18 Catamaran”. Also it would be nice to update the picture to one of the newer Formula 18 designs. The Tiger is a nice boat but there are about 6 newer designs (Wildcat, Infusion, C2 among them). The class is growing in the US. I sail on the West Coast. At a Worlds event in Europe you can expect to see 160 to 180 boats. Because of a great box rule setup all of the boats are very capable of competing head to head. As mentioned it is a great class for a large degree of crew weight from 265 pounds on the low side to 400+ on the high side.
