Australia’s Matt Wearn has taken a commanding lead in the 2026 ILCA Oceania and Australian Open Championship in Hobart on Day Four of sailing, taking a lead of 16 points in the ILCA 7 Class, into the penultimate day of racing.

After an exciting opening day of racing, day two decided to keep everyone guessing. While the sun was shining and temperatures sat at a very agreeable 25 degrees, the wind clearly hadn’t read the race schedule and failed to show up on time.

Day 3 and two races were sailed at the triSearch 12ft Skiff Interdominion Championship on Sydney Harbour, where crucial decisions in shifty variable winds made some, breakages and swims cost others, in a long day on the water.

New Year’s Day morning saw the dinghy and keelboat fleets afloat at Howth Yacht Club in Dublin, Ireland as the hardier sailors took the opportunity to get the 2026 racing season under way.

Three days of qualifying races are over for the ILCA 4 and ILCA 6 fleets with the sailors now assigned to either the Gold or Silver Fleets in the 2026 ILCA Oceania and Australian Open and Youth Championships under way in Hobart.

I’m a great believer in starting things on the right foot. Be that in the morning, going for a run (even though it was damn chilly this morning) to set yourself up for the day, or preparing ahead for a meeting so that you’ve got the figures to hand.

The sailing season at Largs Sailing Club got off to a bracing start with the Optimum Time New Years Race, delivering sunny but bracing winter conditions, close racing and an impressive turnout on the water.

Official racing got underway today in classic champagne sailing conditions, with clear blue skies and sunshine doing their best to convince everyone it was going to be an easy day (it wasn’t).
