Brazilian sailors are undergoing training and preparation for the ILCA and IQFoil World Championships in Europe, part of their training cycle for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

The ILCA World Championship is scheduled for late August in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland, featuring a roster of both male and female Brazilian representatives. Following this, the IQFoil World Championship will be held in Weymouth, England, in early September.

Brazilian Pan-American sailing champion Mateus Isaac has arrived in Weymouth to begin training for the IQFoil event. Working with coach Ricardo Paranhos, Isaac is focusing on adapting to the specific water conditions of the venue, which include varying wind directions and swell factors depending on whether racing occurs inside or outside the port.
