Hermionie Ghicas of Greece and Erik Scheidt of Brazil have been crowned 2026 ILCA 6 Youth World Champions after six days of racing and changing conditions on Aarhus Bay.
Ghicas entered the final day with only a one-point lead over Ireland’s Sienna Wright, but quickly removed any doubt about the outcome. The Greek sailor won all three races in the women’s Gold fleet, completing a dominant final day and securing the world title.
“I felt very comfortable on the boat with this wind and I’m very happy I managed to be strong both mentally, physically and tactically on the water,” said Ghicas.
Wright finished the championship in second place, while New Zealand’s Chloe Turner completed the podium in third.
Caterina Meyer finished as top Asutralian sailor at the event in 16th place.
