Five sailors from the Balearic Islands gather in Wales to compete in the Techno 293 World Champs

The town of Pwllheli, located in Wales, is hosting the Techno 293 World Championship from August 16th to 23rd.

This year’s eagerly awaited event is especially significant, as in addition to the prestigious World Championship, it also marks the 20th anniversary of the Techno 293 class. A total of 260 sailors from 17 countries have been competing since the start of the championship in Welsh waters.

Among them are five representatives from the Balearic Islands, from the following clubs: Club Nàutic s’Arenal, Club Marítimo San Antonio de la Playa, and Reial Club Nàutic del Port de Pollença.

Organized by the Pwllheli Sailing Club, the championship takes place in the town of Pwllheli, in the south of the Llŷn Peninsula. The bay provides an exceptional setting for competition, with its wide white-sand beaches, steep cliffs, and rolling green hills creating a wild and spectacular landscape for sailing.

The World Championship program includes 15 races across the U13, U15, and U17 categories, making it a highly demanding sporting event.
