In collaboration with the Aqaba Aqua Sports Club and under the supervision of the Jordanian Royal Federation, the race, which was comprised of two qualification rounds and one final round, saw the participation of 16 sailors aged 10-16 and a number of spectators. In accordance with the internationally recognised Racing Rules of Sailing, the race culminated in a final competition between the qualified finalists on the evening of the second day.
