Lightning World Championship

Last updated

The Lightning World Championship is a bi-annual international sailing regatta for lightning (dinghy). It is organized by the host club on behalf of the International Lightning Class Association and recognized by World Sailing, the sport's IOC-recognized governing body. The class gained class status in November 1962 from World Sailing, so its first Worlds were in 1963, although an International Regatta was held in 1961.
