The 29er Class has not restricted entries for the World or European Championships in the past, but due to the expected popularity of the 2026 Worlds in Kiel, an Entry Allocation is necessary.
The allocation method is based on the entries from the 2025 World or European Championships, with each country allocated entries based on the higher number from either championship.
This method is expected to result in around 320 boats, but the actual number may be lower if some countries do not take up their allocation.
