Sailing

Also Known As Yachting
Water and Boat Sports

Competitive yacht racing predates any single international governing body, but inconsistent measurement rules across Europe, North America and Britain meant yachts from different countries often could not compete on equal terms. Delegates from thirteen countries met in Paris in October 1907 to adopt a common international measurement rule and code of racing rules, forming the International Yacht Racing Union, the sport's first world governing body; it was renamed the International Sailing Federation in 1996 and is now known as World Sailing.

Facts
Origin Year
1907 2
Marks the Paris founding of the International Yacht Racing Union, the point at which international racing and measurement rules were first unified. Competitive yacht racing traditions in England and the Netherlands are older but were not brought under one rule set until this date.
Originating Region
England and the Netherlands, Northern Europe, where competitive yacht racing traditions were oldest before the sport international rules were unified in 1907. 2
International Governing Body
World Sailing, founded in Paris in October 1907 as the International Yacht Racing Union to unify measurement and racing rules across national fleets; renamed the International Sailing Federation in 1996, then World Sailing. 2
