Boat Handling

Top three tips to starting a 470 well.

  • Try to keep the flow on the rudder and centerboard as long as you can. Once you lose that, it can take some time to attach again.
  • Always fight for space down to leeward. If you don't have enough, you're not going to survive the first 100 meters.
  • Identify the last possible moment for a double tack. And whether you double-tack or not, know the right time for good acceleration and the right exit angle.

2024 470 World Sailing Championship: Preview, schedule and athletes to watch

Paris 2024

As the first major event of the year for the 470 class kicks off, here is everything you need to know ahead of World Championship, which begins on 24 February 

Sailing 470 - Tokyo 2020

Kicking off on 24 February, sailing ’s 470 class will see their first major event of the year: the 2024 World Championships.

A total of 63 International teams will drop into the waters of Arenal, Palma Spain for six days of head-to-head competition as the best sailors from across the globe fight for the world title.

The Championship also serves as the European and North American continental Olympic Qualifier , so stakes are high for those with their eyes on an Olympic quota.

The class, named 470 after the overall length of the boat being 4.70 metres, is a double-handed monohull dinghy with a mixed crew of one male and one female athlete in each rig.

President of the International 470 class and five-time Greek Olympian, Andreas Kosmatopoulos , said “We’re going to see a great competition in Palma.

“There are a number of Olympic qualifying spots being decided here, for Africa, South and North America, and one place for Europe. So the pressure is on, everyone will be at their peak and no one will be holding back.”

Since Tokyo 2020, the men’s and women’s 470 classes have merged into a mixed event, leaving athletes and spectators with one big question: who will be at the helm?

According to Kosmatopoulos, “there is obviously an element of strength and fitness required in the 470 but it is primarily a game of athletic chess. It doesn’t seem to matter who is on the rudder, who is steering the boat, what’s more important is the way that the helm and crew function together as a team. So with 470 Mixed we have the perfect test for men and women.”

As National Olympic Committees have the exclusive authority for the representation of their respective countries at the Olympic Games, athletes' participation at the Paris Games depends on their NOC selecting them to represent their delegation at Paris 2024

  • How to qualify for sailing at Paris 2024

Athletes to Watch

Japan’s Keiju Okada and Miho Yoshioka are the current world title holders, who cruised their way to gold in the medal race at the 2023 World Championships in the Hague . The two competed separately at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics on their home turf, both having finished in seventh in their respective men’s and women’s classes.

Having joined forces to compete in the mixed class, the pair is strong across a range of conditions and are looking to defend their title in Palma.

Spain’s Jordi Xammar Hernandez and Nora Brugman will not only be competing on their home turf, but have consistently landed on the podium since the 470 class turned to the mixed format. They were runners up in both the 2022 and 2023 World Championship, and will be looking to top that this year.

Great Britain’s two-time Olympian Chris Grube and partner Vita Heathcote are strong contenders for the title, along with GB teammates Martin Wrigley and Bettine Harris .

France, Germany and People’s Republic of China could also be standouts among the competitive field in Spain.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

  • SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
  • D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
  • LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

  • D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
  • LOA: Length overall in feet
  • Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)
