World Sailing Championships begin in Ireland and the UK

The ILCA 6 women's yacht class World Championship is taking place in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, from September 7 to 12. The event features approximately 110 sailors from 44 countries, including defending champion Louise Cervera of France, Agata Barwinska of Poland, and Eve McMahon of Ireland. As the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic qualification period approaches, this competition serves as a critical test for international athletes.

Simultaneously, the IQFOIL men's windsurfing World Championship is being held in Weymouth, United Kingdom. This event includes 109 athletes from 35 countries, featuring Paris Olympic medalists such as Tom Reuveny of Israel and Grae Morris of Australia. Weather forecasts for both locations indicate moderate to strong winds, which will test the competitors across various water conditions.
