The second Summer TT of 2026 brought the Dart 15 fleet to the Thames Estuary, where Thorpe Bay Yacht Club hosted twenty-three travellers and home sailors for a weekend of properly mixed Estuary conditions.

After a full day ashore on Wednesday, racing resumed on Thursday at the 2026 iQFOiL Open European Championships in Portimão. Conditions proved far more favorable today, as the Levante settled earlier and strengthened steadily across Praia da Rocha.

The Switch foiling dinghy has taken off around the world, and the sailors are increasingly looking to take part in exciting events, whichever country they are happening in.

Even on a tricky day, the best sailors and those in form have a habit of finding their way to the top of the fleet. Boat speed helps, but the psychological edge that is gained through a winning run helps fuel further wins and top results.

The excitement hasn’t subsided after the epic finish in Lorient last April of the final leg of the GLOBE40, which also marked the end of the second edition.

GB1, skippered by Dylan Fletcher MBE, will represent Britain’s senior team while Athena Pathway, skippered by Hannah Mills OBE, will represent the British women and youth team at the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup Preliminary Regatta Sardinia.

From September 24 to 27, 2026, Naples will officially begin to experience the excitement of the America’s Cup with a Preliminary Regatta that promises a spectacular show and serves as a preview of the main event in 2027.

One of the most anticipated events of the international sailing season is about to get under way: the 2026 IMA Maxi European Championship, taking place from 22 to 28 May between Naples and Sorrento as part of the Tre Golfi Sailing Week 2026.

Registration is officially open for the SB20 World Championship, paving the way for a “Battle of the Titans” this October in Hyères. Known for its demanding breeze and legendary open-water racecourse.
