The teams that will race in RS Fevas in Christchurch at the Inspire Sail GP event, have been announced.

Participation in the SailGP event is an amazing opportunity for sailors from all around the country.

There is a practice day on Thursday 21st March followed by Racing Friday (for a full day), and then Saturday and Sunday mornings also.

Other upcoming events for the RS Feva class include:

  • Traveller series 7 Battle of the Bridge Northcote 16th and 17th

  • Feva Nationals 12th – 15th April Maraetai Sailing Club – ( Aiming for 40 – 50 crews )

We had an amazing number of registrations of interest for the 2024 NZ SailGP Inspire Feva program. Due to the event being back in Lyttleton and now with an expanded SailGP F50 team, they require a lot more space, this year we have been given a cap on the number of RS Fevas they can accommodate.

To make it fair, and due to the high quality of the registrations, we have made the selection process a lottery.

We are now excited to announce that the following sailors have been accepted into the 2024 NZ SailGP Inspire RS Feva program -

Congratulations and we are looking forward to seeing you all in Lyttleton soon!
