Finale for new US Open Sailing Series

The West Marine US Open Sailing Series enters the sixth and final event of the 2021 circuit on August 13-15 in San Francisco, CA. With racing on San Francisco Bay, entries are open for ILCA 4, ILCA 6, ILCA 7, International 420, Formula Kite, iQFoil, Open Kitefoil, and Open Windfoil.

US Sailing launched the debut of the West Marine US Open Sailing Series at the beginning of 2021 with host yacht clubs in Florida including events in Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Clearwater during January and February. The second half of the 2021 West Marine US Open Sailing Series took a West Coast swing this summer with events in San Diego and Long Beach.

There is a lot at stake for many of the competing sailors as US Open Sailing San Francisco will be a Junior Pan Am Games selection event for the iQFoil and also be used in ranking sailors for the 2021 Formula Kite World Championships.
