According to CBVela President Daniel Azevedo, the importance of the Brazil Beach Sailing Cup goes beyond the competition itself. “This event plays a key role in both the sporting and operational preparation for the 2027 World Sailing Championships, which will also be held in Fortaleza, further establishing our city as one of the world’s leading destinations for wind sports,” said Azevedo.
Kitesurfing is one of the disciplines that attracts athletes the most
The program will also feature a special attraction for kitesurfers: the 1st Sertões Kitesurf Challenge 2026, organized in partnership with the Sertões Institute. Contestants—one male and one female athlete—will each receive a free entry to this year’s Sertões competition. The specific regulations and race date will be announced during the Brazil Beach Sailing Cup.
