Marching toward 6 Metre World Champs

The 2025 International Six Metre World Championships is coming to the USA with racing on September 22-26 in Oyster Bay, NY. Hosted by Seawanhaka Corinthian Yacht Club (SCYC), at least 30 teams traveling from across North America and Europe will compete in either the Open or Classic (built/designed before 12/31/65) divisions.

Founded in 1871, SCYC is America’s oldest yacht club and its association with the Sixes goes right back to the class’s foundation in 1907. An Olympic Class from 1908 to 1952, the rule has been periodically updated to keep the class at the forefront of technical development, whilst at the same time honoring its extraordinary heritage.

The club last hosted the Six Metre World Championships in 1987 and has attracted a fleet split very evenly between the Open and Classic divisions and includes the arrival of many newcomers in the Class, along with three brand new boats. – Full report
