IOM World Championship 2026 at Datchet Water Sailing Club - Day 1 After all the preparation, measuring and behind the scenes organisation, it was go time at Datchet. The breeze built, the clouds parted, the qualifying heat allocations were made and the skippers launched for this vital stage.

While the first day of the IOM World Championship in Datchet (GBR) is underway, and while we are all excited and keep refreshing for results, videos, rumors, wind reports, tactical theories and emotional damage… it feels like the perfect moment to look back at another beautiful IOM chapter from this season.

Portuguese IOM sailor Paulo Maio Gomes has just released his aftermovie from IOM Rogoznica 2026 — and it is more than just a video. It is a reminder of why this class is so special.

The boats, the people, the travel, the energy, the friendships, the wind, the waiting, the racing, the small details, the big emotions — all packed into one story from a venue that gave us a truly memorable regatta.

Big respect to Paulo for taking the time and effort to capture it, edit it, and share the passion of IOM sailing with the wider community through YouTube. This is exactly how our sport/technical culture grows: not only through results, but through people who care enough to tell the story.

So while Datchet begins writing the next chapter, let’s enjoy one more look back at Rogoznica.

Thank you, Paulo — and good luck to everyone racing at the Worlds.

The IOM story continues.
