The Circolo Velico Sferracavallo, in Palermo, Italy, will host the 2024 Nacra 17 European Championships.
36 sailors from 13 nations will compete when racing kicks off Wednesday 6 to 10 November.
Sailors from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States will take to the water.
This is very much a transition event, with a number of top competitors stepping away from Olympic sailing, opening the pathway for junior and other new teams to start their challenge for the 2028 Olympics.
No British Nacra 17 teams are have entered.
Paris 2024 competitors including Finnish team of Sinem Kurtbay and Akseli Keskinen, Australian duo Brin Liddell and Rhiannan Brown and Belgian team Lucas Claeyssens and Eline Verstraelen.
Belgian siblings Kwinten and Lieselotte Borghijs bring added prestige, holding the Junior World Championship title from Galicia.
A standout French contingent includes Kevin Fischer and Mathilde Lovadina, a couple who usually compete in the 49er class — Kevin with Clement Pequin, with whom he recently claimed the 2024 49er World Championship in Lanzarote, and Mathilde with Aude Compan in the 49erFX.
Also making their debut in Sferracavallo, Nicolas Martin and Carolina Zager will represent the United States in this newly-formed team.
Other standout teams include Ruben and Rita Booth from Australia, Laura Farese and Matthäus Zöchling from Austria, Daniel De La Casa and Nora Garçia from Spain.
