    Planning notes

    • Sailing instructions, schedule detail and entry status are published by World Sailing — treat sailing.org as the authoritative source.
    • The championship window spans two calendar months, so cover it as a race period rather than a single race day.
    • For organisers: World Sailing's own event pages show the standard sponsors, media and results expect — a useful benchmark for a championship microsite.
