After the excellent welcome we all received in Texas in 2018 we were looking forward to the 2020 DF65 Globals in Sweden. Covid has delayed that now by some time but there is good news for DF Global events, see below for details.

The Executive Committee recently sought expressions of interest to host the next 2 Global Regattas.

A comprehensive application was received from Sweden to host the 2024 DF65 Regatta, following the 2020 deferred events caused by Covid.

The Committee has unanimously approved the event to be held at Nynashamn, Sweden from 6^th to 12^th May 2024.
