Reminder: Measurement Timeslot Registration

Sunday 21 June marks the start of the World Championship in Kiel — and, as always, we kick things off with three days of measurement.

Haven’t signed up yet? Don’t forget to register via the IFDCO App.

All the instructions are right here: Official communication – KiWo 2026

One thing to note this year: sail measurement works a little differently. Sails will only be measured on Monday and Tuesday.

You can book your time-slot for this at the Measurement registration.

See you on the water in Kiel!
