Sailing competition has been in the Universiade since the twentieth Olympic Games Sailing Regatta at the Universida of ESP. Olympic Boardsailing was included at this premier of Sailing at the UG. The Boardsailing name changed to Olympic Windsurfing after the Mistral equipment. (The professional association also shifted from PBA to PWA.) Hopefully, there may be an event of Olympic Sailing during the *2020s* or 2030s. The current windsurfing class is called the IQ Foil, with a brilliant new design that will have appeal to university students. The University Games Olympic Class Sailing Regattas were included these years: 1999, 2005, 2011 and in 2019 as an optional sport. [1] [2] [3]
The boat classes have classic designs that often continue over decades. The windsurfing classes have changed dramatically. The IOC called the sport Olympic Boardsailing to affirm the inclusion to Olympic Sailing, then the more mainstream and classic name Windsurfing was adopted. The recent foil design lifts the board completely above the water with only water contact at the fin. This creates an astonishing appearance of hovering over the water. The dramatically reduced resistance from the water makes this IQ Foil design ultra efficient with decreased effort from the university student and increased pace over the water.

A sailing hydrofoil, hydrofoil sailboat, or hydrosail is a sailboat with wing-like foils mounted under the hull. As the craft increases its speed the hydrofoils lift the hull up and out of the water, greatly reducing wetted area, resulting in decreased drag and increased speed. A sailing hydrofoil can achieve speeds exceeding double and in some cases triple the wind speed.

The sport of sailing involves a variety of competitive sailing formats that are sanctioned through various sailing federations and yacht clubs. Racing disciplines include matches within a fleet of sailing craft, between a pair thereof or among teams. Additionally, there are specialized competitions that include setting speed records. Racing formats include both closed courses and point-to-point contests; they may be in sheltered waters, coast-wise or on the open ocean. Most competitions are held within defined classes or ratings that either entail one type of sailing craft to ensure a contest primarily of skill or rating the sailing craft to create classifications or handicaps.

Wing foiling or wing surfing or winging is a wind propelled water sport that developed from kitesurfing, windsurfing and surfing. The sailor, standing on a board, holds directly onto a wing. It generates both upward force and sideways propulsion and thus moves the board across the water. The recent development of foilboards, which plane very early on a hydrofoil fin and thereby lift off the water producing low friction, represent the ideal complementary hydrodynamic platform for wings.
