Malaysia's National Sailing Center will be awash with more than 430 sailors from 80 nations including Bermuda pair Ceci and Mikey Wollmann taking part in the Youth Sailing World Championships .
Sailors have registered to sail across nine fleets in just a matter of days. 2015 is a record breaker as well with more sailors and countries than ever before. The previous record of 67, set last year in Tavira, Portugal, has been easily surpassed with new and returning nations making the trip.
Historically, the Laser Radial is always the largest at the Youth Worlds and that trend doesn't look like halting anytime soon with 69 boys and 57 girls registered to race in Malaysia, a Championship best for both fleets.
The Laser Radial Girls Fleet features a number of Nanjing 2014 Youth Olympians. Bronze medalist Jarian Brandes from Peru will be joined by Algeria's Nouha El Alia Akil, Wollman (BER), Florence Allan (CAY), Kelly Gonzalez (CHI), Louise Cervera (FRA), Hanna Brant (GBR), Paige Clarke (ISV), Paula Pelayo (MEX) and Caroline Rosmo (NOR).
