Day -1 Daily Highlight | Youth Sailing World Championships – Vilamoura

Day -1 Daily Highlight | Youth Sailing World Championships – Vilamoura Day -1 in Vilamoura was all about setting the scene for an incredible week ahead. The Youth Sailing World Championships officially kicked off with a vibrant opening ceremony, featuring a parade of nations as 424 sailors and 166 coaches marched country by country, followed by group photos on stage, a dance performance, and a flash mob that brought the night to life. Earlier in the day, we spent time at Vilamoura Marina, visiting Casa Portugal, the VIP lounge, and had the chance to chat with David Graham, CEO of World Sailing, and World Sailing President Quanhai Li about the championship and what it means for the future of youth sailing. Today is a training day, with the first day of racing starting on the 15th. Stay tuned for more daily highlights as the action unfolds on and off the water. 📍 Vilamoura, Portugal ⛵ Youth Sailing World Championships #YouthSailingWorlds #DailyHighlight #DayMinus1 #Vilamoura #WorldSailing #OpeningCeremony #ParadeOfNations #SailingLife
