The Vintage Yachting Games will bring together competitors in past Olympic Classes for a combined event every four years to celebrate their glory days at the pinnacle of Olympic sailing. The inaugural event is scheduled for Medemblik, Netherlands in September 2008.
The International Class Associations of some former Olympic Classes agreed to take the initiative to organize a combined event every four years with limited entry. These former Olympic Classes have something special in common. Together they share a huge part of the international sailing history, a part that is based upon active sailing on a very high level of competition.
