What is the Mixed Offshore Double Handed World Championship 2024?

If we analyze it like a math formula:
-> 'Mixed Double Handed' means 1 woman and 1 man
-> 'Offshore' says it all: one needs stamina, and it's not for the faint-hearted
-> 'World Championship 2024': starting 24 September 2024 in Lorient (France), the World's best 22 teams race in 2 qualifying races, and 10 teams finally compete in the final for gold. All race in the same boats, provided by the organization. The boats are the same. For this event: Class30 one design boats or as some know it: Jeanneau Sunfast 30 One Design.
The World Championship and the Class30 is governed by World Sailing.
