All teams in the ODHWC will take part in an Elimination Series consisting of two groups. Each team will take part in one overnight race. The first 5 boats of each group will qualify for the Final Race. The winner of the Final will be the 2024 Offshore Double Handed World Champion.

The teams will race One Design Sun Fast 30s supplied by the Cap-Regatta. The Sun Fast 30 OD is the brainchild of UNCL - Pôle Course du YCF in partnership with the Royal Ocean Racing Club and the Storm Trysail Club. The 10.4m monohull is a simple, affordable and sustainable in design. The Sun Fast 30 OD is built in a collaboration between Jeanneau and Multiplast.

The Sun Fast 30 OD was new for the 2023 season and has been racing in the world’s largest offshore racing series - the RORC Season’s Points Championship. Ten Sun Fast 30 ODs are entered for the Drheam Cup in July 2024. The Sun Fast 30 OD is one of the first production model sailboats built from a recyclable resin, which highlights the latest developments in sustainable boat building.
