This marks the first time the Swedish capital will host the championship, bringing together the world\u2019s leading team racing sailors. The nations participating are Australia, Bahamas, Bermuda, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Sweden, UK, USA 1, and USA 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The championship will take place on Riddarfj\u00e4rden, in the heart of Stockholm, organised by Gamla Stans Yacht S\u00e4llskap on behalf of World Sailing. Twelve national teams from four continents will compete, featuring a total of 96 sailors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Magnus Myrenberg, Project Manager for the championship, remarked, \u201cThat all nations are now confirmed shows the strong international interest in both the championship and Stockholm as a sailing venue. This will be a world championship of the highest calibre, both competitively and in terms of public appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stockholm was selected as the host city following an international bidding process. The city\u2019s experience in stadium-style sailing and the long-standing collaboration with the Stockholm International Team Race Regatta, held annually since 2016, were key factors in this decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBeing awarded the championship is recognition of many years of work with our partners and the City of Stockholm. The event will be one of the most accessible and spectator-friendly sailing occasions ever held in Sweden,\u201d said Myrenberg.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Racing will occur from 12\u201316 August 2026 on Riddarfj\u00e4rden, adjacent to Stockholm City Hall, allowing outstanding spectator experiences from various vantage points around the bay. The event will be free of charge and open to the public.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Team Racing is known for its gender equality, requiring each national team of eight to include at least three women and three men. Competitors will sail in identical J\/80 boats, with over 140 matches expected in a highly spectator-friendly format.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event hub will be the Sailors\u2019 Village at Norr M\u00e4larstrand, featuring race management, media areas, public spaces, caf\u00e9s, sponsor zones, and grandstands. Activities will also include try-sailing experiences and radio-controlled sailing events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Defending champions are already preparing for the upcoming championship. Will Bailey, skipper of the reigning Corinthian world champion team, noted the challenges and excitement of training in J\/80s. He stated, \u201cRacing in J\/80s is new for us, so there\u2019s been a steep learning curve. Training in the city, on a harbour course similar to Stockholm, has been invaluable. The races are short, intense, and incredibly close, making it exciting for both sailors and spectators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sustainability is a core value of the event, with emission-free transport in Stockholm and support boats primarily powered by electricity or biofuel. The event will adhere to the World Sailing Sustainability Framework for food and waste management.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facts about the Team Racing World Championship 2026 include:<br \/>Dates: 12\u201316 August 2026 (training day on 11 August)<br \/>Venue: Riddarfj\u00e4rden, Stockholm<br \/>Organiser: Gamla Stans Yacht S\u00e4llskap<br \/>Participants: 12 national teams, 96 sailors<br \/>Boat type: J\/80<br \/>Spectators: Free admission<br \/>Sustainability standard: World Sailing Sustainability Framework<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">#worldsailingofficial #TeamRacing #SailingChampionship #Stockholm2026 #KeelboatRacing<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interested in seeing more Racing News? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysailing.com.au\/racing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Click here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tPost navigation<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysailing.com.au\/wingfoil-world-cup-debuts-in-calabria-italy\/\" rel=\"prev nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0Wingfoil World Cup debuts in Calabria, Italy<\/a>\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All 12 nations have confirmed their participation in the 2026 Team Racing World Championship for keelboats, to be&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126038,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[83],"tags":[32116,56698,131,132,53553],"class_list":["post-126037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-stockholm","tag-buffer","tag-regatta-previews","tag-stockholm","tag-sweden","tag-world-championships"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116889193538494659","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
