Sailing at the Summer World University Games

Sailing competition has been in the Universiade since the twentieth Olympic Games Sailing Regatta at the Universida of ESP. Olympic boardsailing was included at this premier of sailing at the UG. The boardsailing name changed to Olympic windsurfing after the Mistral equipment. (The professional association also shifted from PBA to PWA.) There may be an event of Olympic sailing during the 2020s or 2030s. The current windsurfing class is called the IQ foil, with a new design that will have appeal to university students. The University Games Olympic Class Sailing Regattas were included in 1999, 2005, and 2011, and in 2019 as an optional sport.

Equipment The boat classes have classic designs that often continue over decades. The windsurfing classes have changed dramatically. The IOC called the sport "Olympic boardsailing" to affirm the inclusion to Olympic sailing, then the more mainstream and classic name "windsurfing" was adopted. The recent foil design lifts the board completely above the water with only water contact at the fin. This creates an astonishing appearance of hovering over the water. The dramatically reduced resistance from the water makes this IQ foil design ultra-efficient, with decreased effort from the student and increased pace over the water.
