Racing got underway today at the 2026 ILCA 7 Men’s World Championship in Dún Laoghaire, with the first three races of the qualifying series completed.
Matt Wearn sits 9th after scoring 5-(6)-2.
Racing started right on time, with the first warning signal going off at 12:00 as scheduled. A partly sunny day with 6–7 knots of wind and small waves set the tone for the first set of races. The breeze built to around 8 knots under cloudy skies for the second set, before rising further to 10–11 knots in the late afternoon for the final set, with waves building to around a metre and light rain moving in during the closing legs of the last fleets.
Results at the top were tightly bunched. Local sailor Finn Lynch IRL posted a solid 1-2-(4) in the blue fleet to head the overall standings, tied on 3 points with Attilio Borio ITA, who scored 2-1-(12) in the red fleet. Ole Schweckendiek GER sits third with (6)-3-1 in the blue fleet, tied on 4 points with Nicholas Halliday HKG, who scored 1-(4)-3 in the red fleet.
Tonci Stipanovic CRO, back in the class this year after retiring following Paris 2024, sits fifth on 5 points in the yellow fleet, level with Jeemin Ha KOR, also yellow fleet, and Jonatan Vadnai HUN, red fleet.
