GP14 Ireland
2026 GP14 World Championships
Alternative Venue Announced
(March 15th 2024)
The Sri Lanka Championship Committee were notified and the GP14 International President, Charles Saunders issued an update very recently to the GP14 membership outlining the concerns and challenges that led to this decision. These were primarily:
- Container shipping costs estimates suggest that the per boat cost could be in the region of €1,200-1,500 which is 3 to 4 times more expensive than shipping boats to Barbados for 2016 Worlds
- There still remains serious uncertainty on the future price of shipping with Red Sea being drawn into Middle East conflict, notwithstanding impacts on delivery times and schedules
- Long haul air fares have also risen considerably and unlikely to drop much in the near to medium future
That process has been underway for a number of week with the Championship Committee looking beyond the traditional venues including possible European venues. This is a challenge as many suitable locations will already have had their events calendar for 2026 locked down.
