Deadline of entries is until January 31. ISAF Member National Authorities have to submit their application for one Priority Place in the eleven events included in the Championships. "So far the response to online entry has been very enthusiastic. We are still awaiting entry from a number of the larger sailing countries, so things are looking very positive for a real spread of nations in Cascais. The 2007 ISAF Sailing World Championships will be one of the highlights of ISAF's Centenary year and a perfect opportunity to show off our sport on a worldwide scale," said Helmut Czasny, manager of the ISAF Competitions Department.
