WASZP Class Rules

The WASZP has been created as a strict one-design dinghy foiler, where the true test when raced is between crews and not boats and equipment.

The fundamental objective of these class rules is to ensure that this concept is maintained. Keeping possible modifications to a minimum ensures fair racing across the fleet, helps to reduce the overall cost to the sailor and reduces the amount of time in the workshop. When a sailor buys a WASZP, the boat is instantly competitive without needing additional time or cost. These rules aim to uphold that value so that sailors can focus on the best bit of owning a WASZP – sailing it!

The popularity of the WASZP has proven that the boat and the concept work. As a result, WASZP sailors are now part of the world’s most active and friendly sailing community.

We also get a lot of question about Class Membership.  Here is a brief breakdown.

Currently you need an International Membership to compete in Tier 1 & Tier 2 events.  

Currently you need a National membership to compete in domestic events.  If you travel for another Tier 3 or Tier 4 regatta, your existing national membership is valid in other countries for those Tier 3 and Tier 4 regattas.

So as an example, a US sailor racing at a Tier 3 event (US Nationals) and at a Tier 2 event (Americas) would need both memberships.

There is a fix on the way for this if the Class joins World Sailing as at that point your domestic membership will be tied to the International Class and that will cover you at all events.
