List of World Championships medalists in sailing (windsurfer classes)

This article lists medalists at the World Championships for various windsurfer classes. These classes have evolved over time, reflecting advancements in windsurfing technology and changing preferences within the sport. Included are results from recognized world championship events for classes such as the Original Windsurfer, Windglider, Mistral, RS:X, iQFoil, and Formula Windsurfing. The list includes male, female, and potentially open (mixed gender) events where applicable. The information presented here is drawn from publicly available results from official sources such as international sailing federations (e.g., World Sailing) and class associations. It aims to provide a comprehensive historical record of champions in these windsurfing disciplines.

The information presented should be verified with official results for each championship. Discrepancies may exist due to varying reporting methods over time and potential data entry errors. The inclusion criteria are based on events explicitly designated as World Championships by the relevant class association or World Sailing. Note that some classes may have parallel or alternative championship events, but this list primarily focuses on officially recognized World Championships.

The classes included here generally represent those that have achieved significant international recognition and participation, although the exclusion of any particular class does not necessarily diminish its historical significance within the sport of windsurfing. The list will be maintained and updated periodically as new information becomes available and new World Championships are held. The historical context of each class, including its period of prominence and technical specifications, is relevant to understanding the evolution of windsurfing and its competitive landscape. Data completeness may vary by class, particularly for older championships where records may be less readily available.
