Musto named title partner of the iQFOiL World Championships 2026

 

Musto, the world's number one performance sailing brand and a global leader in outdoor clothing apparel, has been announced as title partner of the Musto iQFOiL World Championships 2026, to be staged at Weymouth & Portland, UK from 7 to 12 September 2026.

Performance sailing brand, Musto, strengthens its foiling credentials as headline partner to the Musto iQFOiL World Championships.

The world's best riders will gather at Weymouth & Portland from 7-12 September to compete in this exciting Olympic class, racing at speeds of up to 35 knots.

Musto is already a proud sponsor of the Royal Yachting Association and the British Sailing Team, this new partnership builds on the brand's commitment to the foiling disciplines.

British Sailing Team iQFOiL athletes Emma Wilson and Andy Brown will be out to defend their respective 2025 World Championship titles on their home waters this year.

The Musto iQFOiL World Championships 2026 is the first time the UK has hosted a major championship in the class, and the first World Championship on UK waters in an Olympic windsurfing discipline since 2009.

The event will see the world's best Olympic-class windsurfers (aka riders) descend on the Dorset coast for a week of high-speed, high-adrenalin racing on one of the sport's most iconic stages that was the home of sailing for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

iQFOiL is the cutting-edge evolution of the Olympic windsurfing class using hydrofoil technology to lift the boards clear of the water, even in lighter wind conditions. The iQFOiL class sees athletes racing at speeds of up to 35kts (65kph). Olympic medallists, World Champions and rising stars will be going head-to-head against the dramatic backdrop of the Jurassic Coast.

Musto's name will sit front and centre of the Championships, reinforcing the brand's commitment to the foiling disciplines that are redefining Olympic sailing and windsurfing ahead of the LA2028 Games.

Musto has been an official partner of the RYA and the British Sailing Team, as well as the Dutch Sailing Federation for many years, kitting out these nation's top Olympic and Paralympic sailors and windsurfers on the world stage.
