The 2022 European WASZP Games being held in Murcia, Spain will begin an epic year of European Events. Competitors can enter online now.
The 2022 WASZP European Games will take place from 11 to 17 April at one of the best foiling
venues Europe has to offer.
The Mar Menor is a large saltwater lagoon in the region of Murcia in the south of Spain offers reliable wind, flatwater and warm weather. There is no better place to maximise time on the water and lock in those foiling gains than this somewhat undiscovered foiling gem.
The event will run out of CAR Murcia in collaboration with the Federación de Vela de la Región de Murcia. CAR is an outstanding facility that offers onsite accommodation, ample space and easy launching. The centre is used by some of Europe’s top sports teams from a range of sports; including sailing, kayaking, taekwondo and wrestling; and boasts additional facilities including a fully-equipped gym and indoor pool.
Los Alcázares, the municipality where CAR is located, is the largest and most lively area around Mar Menor, with a huge choice of bars and restaurants that will help to keep the good times rolling after the action on the water.
The fleet in Spain is growing steadily, with another 15 new boats set to join the fleet over the winter and lead up to the European Games.
The European Games is set to kick off the European season with a bang. In the lead up to the event, there are plenty of opportunities to get on the water and refine those foiling skills.
The Spanish WASZP agent has set up a number of training and racing opportunities in Barcelona and the surrounding area over the winter period and can offer boat storage and transport solutions to ensure your boat gets to the Europeans from the training base.
Prior to the European Games, there will be a four-day clinic from 7 to 10 April hosted by top WASZP coaches for those looking to maximise their sailing over the Easter period.
All of this rolls into a ramped-up EuroCup series and record-breaking WASZP Games in Garda in July.
