The Yacht Racing Forum announces a partnership with World Sailing which will be actively involved in the thirteenth edition of the conference in Malta on 21-22 November.

"We are delighted to welcome World Sailing as an official partner and look forward to strengthening our ties with the sport's governing body", says Bernard Schopfer, the event's CEO. "World Sailing's endorsement is a real tribute to the quality of the work we have been putting into this event over the years."

The sports' key personalities, classes, events, technical suppliers, sponsors and athletes will gather at the YRF in Malta on November 21-22. The event will attract some 300 people from all over the world in one place at one time to do business and meet future clients.

Yacht Racing Forum delegates will be welcomed to Malta on Sunday evening at a pre-event cocktail reception hosted jointly by World Sailing and Yachting Malta.

David Graham, World Sailing's CEO, will present a keynote address on Tuesday morning while Scott Dougal, the new Director of Communications and Digital, will share his views with the audience. Alastair Fox, Director of Events, and Alexandra Rickham, Head of Sustainability at World Sailing, will also actively contribute to the conference.

"We are delighted to be a partner of the Yacht Racing Forum, says David Graham, CEO World Sailing. "The Forum provides a great platform for our community to come together, discuss issues affecting the sport and share best practice.
