BARCELONA, SPAIN (August 1, 2022) – 245 boats seeking the 2022 29er World Champion title have gathered in Barcelona for racing August 1-6. A small handful of the boats are fresh off the Youth Worlds Championships in The Netherlands where only one 29er per country was allowed, but all competitors will take to the water in the largest fleet of 29ers we’ll see all year.
