Our Story

Making
History

Israel is one of the world's greatest sailing nations - yet it has never competed in Olympic catamaran sailing. Not at the youth level. Not at the Olympic level. This untapped discipline has limited Israel's medal potential across the board.

ISR 36 is changing that. We are building Israel's first-ever Olympic campaign in the Nacra 17 - the high-performance foiling catamaran that flies above the water at speeds exceeding 30 knots.

Training year-round in Southern California, the exact venue for 2028 Olympic sailing, gives us a home advantage no other nation can match.

"Our goal is not only to introduce high-performance catamaran sailing to the sailing community of Israel but also to represent them with pride at the 2028 Olympic Games and stand on top of the podium."
