Three class wins. Two more on the podium. The 2026 @orcsailing World Championship in Sorrento delivered world-class racing across four competitive classes, and North-powered teams were all over the results sheet. Ran, owned by Niklas Zennström took the Class A title, defending the world championship won in Tallinn last year. Julian Somodi’s Katara claimed Class B with two race wins on the final day. In Class C, the world title went to Luigi Buzzi’s Robe da Mat, with a dominant final day. And in a knife-edge Class 0 battle that went down to the wire, Mauro Gestri’s TP52 Vudu and @r.lacorte ’s wallyrocket51 RocketNikka (@nikkaracing ) took second and third in a fiercely contested fleet. “The regatta stayed incredibly close right up until the final day, and in the end the teams that sailed best on the water came out on top, even on corrected time,” noted Alessio Razeto, North expert and Team Manager of RocketNikka. “This was one of the biggest and most technically demanding ORC World Championships in recent years,” added Daniele Cassinari, CEO of North Sails Italy. “North-powered teams delivered outstanding performances across all four classes, and huge credit goes to the sailors, designers, and service teams behind these results.” Attention now turns to the IMA Maxi European Championship (21–28 May), with an outstanding Maxi fleet lining up across multiple divisions for the @tregolfisailingweek #offshore race followed by a series of high-intensity inshore racing, all in the stunning waters off Sorrento. Congratulations to all the teams. 🏆 #ORCWorlds #NorthSails #TreGolfi #NSVictoryList sailing 📸 Atila Madrona | Studio Borlenghi | Tre Golfi

Final race day at the 2026 @etchellsclass World Championship, and North-powered teams hold the top three spots heading into the showdown in San Diego. 💨 James Mayo and the Magpie crew lead the overall standings after eight races in classic San Diego conditions, holding an 11-point advantage heading into today’s final race. Scott Kaufman’s Rogue sits second overall, while Jim Cunningham’s Lifted remains firmly in the hunt in third, setting up an exciting final day for the North-powered fleet. With choppy seas, tight mark roundings, and photo finishes across the fleet, Day 4 delivered some of the most intense racing of the regatta so far. Mayo is now chasing a third consecutive Etchells World Championship title, a feat not achieved in more than 40 years. One final race to decide it all. 📸 Mark Albertazzi #NorthSails #Etchells #EtchellsWorlds

The 2026 @oceanfiftyseries is off to a strong start for North-powered teams. 🌊 From Sainte-Maxime to Ajaccio, North-powered teams have consistently raced at the front of the fleet in one of offshore racing’s most competitive multihull championships, taking four of the top five overall positions in Act 1, including a full North Sails podium. That momentum continued in Ajaccio, with teams finishing first, second, fourth and fifth overall in Act 2. Elvest, @team_edenred and @lazarefrance have all delivered consistently strong performances across the opening events, while @sodebovoile has quickly established itself among the frontrunners. An impressive start to the 2026 Ocean Fifty Series, with plenty more racing still to come. #NSVictoryList #NorthSails #OceanFifty 📸 Vincent Olivaud | Ocean Fifty

Three days of racing along the Tigullio coastline wrapped up the 2026 Spring Regattas in Portofino — the classic @yachtclubitaliano event for yachts 50 feet and above, with twenty-one boats on the start line. From coastal courses to racing around the Portofino headland, the regatta delivered a strong mix of conditions and close competition across the fleet.   In the Open division, ARCA SGR claimed the win with 18-year-old Marta Benussi at the helm, finishing ahead of Moonshine and Adriano Calvini’s Itacentodue. IRC honours went to Marco Ferrero’s Mistral Gagnant, ahead of Luciano Gandini’s Twin Soul B and Marco Malgara’s Nice — with Mistral Gagnant also taking home the Comune di Portofino Trophy and the B&G special award.   Another strong week of racing on the Ligurian coast with North-powered teams at the front of the fleet.   #NSVictoryList #NorthSails #Portofino

💬 “In these conditions, it takes very little to gain or lose several positions.” — @bressanilorenzo , tactician onboard Roberto Lacorte’s RocketNikka. The North-powered WallyRocket 51 delivered a 3-2-2 on day two of inshore racing at the ORC Worlds to move up to second overall in Class 0. The coastal around Capri is next. 📍 Sorrento, Italy #orc #sailing #tregolfisailingweek #northsails #sail 🎥 @atilastudioo
