Game time at Six Metre World Championships

Twenty-nine teams from ten nations will compete in the 2025 Six Metre World Championships on September 22-26 in Oyster Bay, NY. The fleet comprises 17 Open Division boats and 12 Classics, both racing on the same course but starting separately.

This is a development class and Dennis Conner has never shied away from trying something new, as his tactician Chris Poole explains: “He’s got a really interesting design, we’ve got a new boat and our designer is here with us, and Dennis is really excited to see how it goes against the other moderns.

“We’ve definitely taken a step away from the traditional Six Metre lines, as far as within the rules will allow, and so we potentially have a really quick boat in certain conditions. Dennis is just really looking forward to finding out where she’s strong and where she might need to be even faster.” – Full report
