NACRA 17 Worlds 2026 Day 5 : Italy roars to the front

In the Nacra 17 catamarans, the experience of the Italians, Gianluigi Ugolini and Maria Giubilei, is beginning to show through, as their scores of 11, 3, 1 have moved them past former leaders from France, Tim Mourniac and Lou Berthomieu. The gap between Italy and France going into the final day is eight points, making the Italians fairly comfortable leaders to win a world title that slipped away from them by the smallest margins on home waters last October in Sardinia.

The team that beat them to the 2025 world title, Great Britain’s John Gimson and Anna Burnet, had a good day today with scores of 3, 9 and 2, but perhaps it is a case of too little, too late for GBR to fully close the gap on the Italians, 14 points ahead. Just behind the British, it’s Argentina’s Mateo Majdalani and Eugenia Bosco, who are lying in fourth. And the Swedes, of whom so much was expected at these Worlds, are gradually making amends for a slow start to the week with Ida Svensson and Marcus Dackhammar in fifth, and Emil Järudd and Hanna Jonsson in sixth.

Even so, although the points gaps are relatively big, perhaps the new format with two final races for the top 10 on the final day will be enough to shake up the order. It’s a new system for the skiff and catamaran fleets, and everyone is looking forward to an exciting conclusion of six days of unpredictable racing in the Bay of Quiberon.
