Youth Selection
In early 2015, ISAF announced that they were looking for a new youth multihull for the ISAF Youth World Championships. Nacra Sailing announced two bids for the trials, the existing Nacra 16 and the all new Nacra 15. After the trials and extensive consideration by ISAF at their AGM in China, the Nacra 15 was confirmed as the new Youth World Championships class. It was also un-expectedly announced as a new class for the Youth Olympic Games.
