Offshore Doubles Association Announcement!

J/105 sailing doublehanded

(Newport, RI)- With double-handed sailing making its debut as an Olympic discipline in Paris 2024, this year has seen a record number of entries around the world for double-handed events. To represent the fast-growing DH segment of our sport around the world, a new non-profit sailors association called OFFSHORE DOUBLES has just been formed: www.offshoredoubles.org

Offshoure Doubles sailing organizationThis group is for everyone interested in double-handing offshore including couples or friends doing weekend races to Olympic athletes and serious programs globally. The mission is to bring the DH community together and provide an on-ramp for those interested in getting into DH sailing.

The call to action is that the World Sailing meetings in two weeks will determine if the Offshore Mixed Doubles Event will continue to be on the slate for Paris 2024. 

NOW is the time to show the Olympic committee that DH sailing has broad global support.
