• A world-class 49er campaign requires 5–6 international regattas per year, spanning Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

  • 49ers use cutting-edge carbon fiber technology, high-performance sails, and specialized rigging that requires precision maintenance.

  • Access to Olympic-level coaching, video analysis, weather routing, and sports psychology accelerates our development and readiness.
