Yngling Worlds 2027 in Brunnen
Switzerland
The Worlds return to Lake Lucerne
Dear Yngling sailors,
From 28 August to 4 September 2027, the international Yngling
community will gather in Brunnen, Switzerland, for the Yngling
Open World Championship.
Brunnen has hosted the Yngling World Championship twice in the
last 25 years: in 2002 and 2013. Now, the event will return to Lake
Lucerne again. Regattaverein Brunnen, together with Suisse
Yngling and the International Yngling Association, looks forward to
welcoming sailors, families and friends from around the world.
Brunnen lies on the shore of Lake Lucerne, surrounded by the
mountains of Central Switzerland. The alpine setting and changing
local conditions should provide varied and tactical racing, while the
village and surrounding region offer plenty to discover ashore.
An experienced organising club
Regattaverein Brunnen was founded by enthusiastic Star sailors
with the aim of promoting the sport through well-organised regattas.
Since then, the club has organised more than 200 national and
international events.
The championship will be based at Marina Fallenbach, where the
boats, race organisation and shore facilities will be brought
together. The organising team is preparing a full programme on the
water and ashore, combining competitive racing with the friendly
international atmosphere that has long characterised the Yngling
class.
Championship programme
The championship week will begin with registration and
measurement on Saturday, 28 August. Registration andmeasurement will continue on Sunday, followed by the practice
race, the opening ceremony and the IYA Annual General Meeting.
Championship racing starts on Monday, 30 August. The programme
includes racing from Monday to Friday, with national parties during
the week and a midweek event on Wednesday morning. The official
dinner and prize-giving ceremony will take place on Friday evening.
Haul-out and departure are scheduled for Saturday, 4 September.

Entries and berthing
There are 51 berths available. If more boats register, the berths will
be allocated in accordance with the Yngling Championship Rules. In
recent years, we have consistently had around 50 participating
boats at the Yngling Worlds, so it should work out just fine.
Each national team may also bring one coach boat free of charge.
Further information about registration, entry procedures and charter
boats will be published as preparations progress.
Plan your stay early
Brunnen and the surrounding Lake Lucerne region offer hotels,
holiday apartments and camping facilities. As the number of places
close to the event venue is limited, crews and accompanying guests
are strongly encouraged to book their accommodation early.
Updated information about accommodation, registration and the
championship programme will be published on the event website:

Save the dates and start making your plans. We look forward to
welcoming the international Yngling family to Brunnen for a
memorable week of racing, friendship and Swiss hospitality.
See you in Brunnen in 2027!
