The 2025 OK Dinghy season has all the hallmarks of being another epic year for the class with record turnouts forecast at some iconic venues across Europe.
The season begins with the traditional Spring Cup in Medemblik, The Netherlands, in May. Then at the end of June the fleet heads to Germany, with a first stop at Kieler Woche, and then a week later on to Warnemunde for the European Championship, held as part of the Warnemunder Woche.
In September, there is another double bill of the World Championship at Arco on Lake Garda, with already more than 80 confirmed entries after one week, followed by the Autumn Trophy at Bandol, on the French Riviera.
In addition, the class is relaunching its Euro Tour, which was curtailed in 2020 with the onset of the pandemic. Further details will be announced soon.
