The Perfect Start to the 2027 Hobie 16 World Championship

Sant Pere Pescador, Costa Brava, Spain — 2027

The countdown to the 24th Hobie 16 World Championship is already underway, and competitors will have the perfect opportunity to get into World Championship mode with the Costa Brava Hobie 16 Warm-Up Regatta 2027 at Club de Vela La Ballena Alegre.

Held at the spectacular Costa Brava venue in Sant Pere Pescador, the Warm-Up Regatta is designed to give Hobie 16 sailors the chance to arrive early, get their boats and crews dialled in, experience the local sailing conditions and enjoy some competitive racing before the World Championship begins.

And there is something special planned for those looking for a little extra adventure — a long-distance race will form part of the Warm-Up Regatta.

Race the Costa Brava

The long-distance race will provide competitors with a very different challenge from traditional windward-leeward racing. Teams will need to combine speed, tactics and boat handling while dealing with changing conditions and making the most of the spectacular waters off the Costa Brava.

It promises to be an exciting way to experience the sailing area and a great opportunity for sailors to test themselves against fellow Hobie 16 teams from around the world.

For those competing in the 2027 Hobie 16 World Championship, the Warm-Up Regatta also provides valuable time on the water before the serious racing begins.

Arrive Early – Sail More

The Costa Brava Hobie 16 Warm-Up Regatta offers much more than simply another regatta on the calendar.

Competitors can:

Get their boats ready and tuned before the World Championship.
Sail in the same spectacular Costa Brava environment where the Worlds will be held.
Familiarise themselves with local wind and sea conditions.
Race against international Hobie 16 teams.
Take part in the challenging long-distance race.

he Road to the Hobie 16 Worlds

The Warm-Up Regatta will lead directly into one of the biggest events on the Hobie racing calendar — the 24th Hobie 16 World Championship, which will be sailed at La Ballena Alegre from 3 to 8 July 2027.

The Hobie 16 Worlds form part of an extended international Hobie festival that also includes the 18th Hobie 14 World Championship and the Hobie Dragoon International Cup.
