As the European summer begins to wind down, the final WASZP EuroCup event will be held in Roses, Spain from 29 to 31 October. A total of 152 competitors have raced across the five events so far and that number is expected to rise with the EuroCup finale in Spain.
The timing of the event provides the perfect opportunity for those who want to keep their boats in Spain over the winter and have “glamorous” training conditions in the lead up to the 2022 WASZP European Championships to be held in Mar Menor (Spain) from 13 to 17April 2022. Spanish agent Renting Ribs will be hosting many opportunities to race and train over the winter and can also provide transport options for boats to the 2022 Europeans.
The 2022 WASZP Season is going to be massive with an America’s Championships from 15 to 19 March in Richmond, CA ahead of the SailGP Grand Final in San Francisco, the Europeans in Spain and the third instalment of the International WASZP Games in Malcesine 9 to 1 July.

There is pressure coming from UK, German and Italian sailors, with Matt Beck and Paul Farien competing strongly, along with the Savoini brothers.
The overall winner of the 2021 WASZP EuroCup event will walk away with two spectator tickets to the SailGP Event of their choice for season 3.
