Scenario 1 – to qualify directly to be nominated for Paris 2024

  • If an athlete/team finishes the 2023 Sailing World Championships in the top eight (8) in its class;
  • And no other Canadian team/athlete places within 10 overall finish positions from the team that finished in the top 8 (ie. 8th position and 19th).

In such a case, the athlete/team will qualify to be nominated for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Scenario 2 – through the Canadian qualification process

  • If one (1) athlete/team or more finish the 2023 Sailing World Championships in the top eight (8) in its class.
  • And/or if there is one or more athlete/team within 10 overall finish positions from the team with the lower top 8 result (i.e. 8th position and 18th), the trial process will continue only for these athletes/teams involved.

The following trial process will apply: the athlete/team with the lowest score combined position (ex. 1st+21st) from the 2024 World Championships in the class and the 2024 Princess Sofia Regatta, added together, will be selected based on a sailing scoring system (lowest score first). If there is a tie, the athlete/team in best position (based on the sailing scoring system) at the 2024 Princess Sofia Regatta will qualify to be nominated.

If an event is cancelled, it will be replaced by the 2024 European Championships of the class.

If an athlete/team earns a spot for Canada at the 2023 Sailing World Championships, but no athlete/team qualifies themselves, the same trial process as in Scenario 2 will apply.

Prior to being named to Team Canada, all nominations are subject to approval by the Canadian Olympic Committee’s Team Selection Committee following its receipt of nominations by all National Sport Organisations.
