Hong Kong Etchells had itself a wild weekend when the Whitehead series wrapped in seriously epic style. Ugly seas, confused skies, and the kind of wind that makes you question your life choices, they wrote in their wrap-up.

San Diego has clearly long been one of the favorite venues for the Etchells Worlds event. Known as a tactical venue, the reliable weather. Itโs one of the fairest World's venues but also one of the hardest to win!
The 2026 Etchells Australian National Championship delivered three days of tightly contested racing on the Swan River.
Day 1: Light Air
Day 2: Pressure Builds
Day 3: Title Decided by a Sliver
