ILCA 6 Youth Worlds – Shifty winds on penultimate day

Very inconsistent and shifty winds made for a difficult day on Aarhus Bay, with only one race completed in the men’s gold fleet as the 2026 ILCA 6 Youth World Championships entered its final stages.

Long days on the water without wind can be frustrating for sailors when there is no racing and little to do but watch the conditions shift.

That was the case for Ireland’s Sienna Wright, who remains just one point behind overall leader Hermionie Ghicas, as she endured a long day without a result.

It was a boring day. I wished they had tried to get a race in, but I guess it was a bit too shifty,” said Wright. “I actually like light and shifty conditions, so for me everything is good. There are still three possible races left, and I just try to focus on myself and my own race; if I do that, there’s nothing more to ask for.

Australian sailor Caterina Meyer is sitting 14th going into the final day. Good Luck to her.
