The men's Formula Kite competition at the 2023 Sailing World Championships was the men's kiteboarding event and was held in The Hague, the Netherlands, 14–20 August 2023.[1] The entries were limited to 90 boards.[1] The competitors participated in an opening series that was planned to 20 races, followed by a medal series.[1] The medal series was planned for 19 August.[2]

The competition served as a qualifying event for the 2024 Olympic sailing competition with 8 out of 20 national quota being distributed at the event.[3]

Summary

Toni Vodišek of Slovenia was the reigning world champion, having won the 2022 Formula Kite World Championships in Cagliari,[4] while Axel Mazella of France had won the Paris 2024 Test Event the month before.[5] In the Sailing World Cup, Max Maeder of Singapore had won the Trofeo Princesa Sofia,[6] while Mazella had won the Semaine Olympique Française[7] and the Allianz Regatta.[8]

Maeder and Vodišek both opened with three race wins in different fleets.[9] No wind limited the possibility to sail on 18 August.[10]
