La invitaționalul All-Stars WASZP din martie, un eveniment elit ce a reunit cei mai buni navigatori ai lumii, australianul Louis Tilly a câștigat titlul la bărbați, iar americanca Pearl Lattanzi a dominat categoria feminin, fiecare primind 5.000 de dolari. Aceasta a fost o pregătire pentru Campionatul Mondial WASZP Games din 2026, care va avea loc în martie în Pensacola, Florida, și se anunță ca fiind cel mai mare eveniment de foiling din istoria Americii de Nord.

Designed by Andrew McDougall, the goal of the one design WASZP Class was to make foiling accessible at a fraction of the cost of other classes. With 1,700+ boats in over 30 countries, the 11-foot WASZP has become the world’s most popular one-design foiling dinghy.
And now the world is coming to the USA for the 2026 WASZP Games on March 24-28 in Pensacola, Florida. This is the World Championship for the class, with 71 entrants seeking the title in what will be the biggest foiling event in history for North America.
As a tune-up, the WASZP All-Stars Invitational was held March 17-18 as an elite, invitation-only event that brought together the top-ranked WASZP sailors from around the globe. Eight men and seven women – selected purely on merit – went head-to-head in short, high-intensity sprint races.
After Gavin Ball (USA) led the men on day one, Australia’s Louis Tilly surged to the top to claim the Men’s title, while Pearl Lattanzi (USA) dominated the women. Both athletes walk away with a US$5,000 prize and the honor of being the first-ever All-Stars Invitational Champions.
