Early Bird Entry Worlds 2026 – Perth
From Australian F18 Class Association
Hi everyone,
We’re now just one week away from the Early Bird deadline for the 2026 F18 Worlds, with discounted entry closing 13 December.
If you’re planning to compete, this is the moment to secure the best rate and lock in your place at what’s shaping up to be a huge event for the Australian fleet.
If you are one of the lucky ones attending, please see below for important Class Measurement requirements for the Worlds regatta.
On top of this, the fleet continues to build momentum nationwide — showcased beautifully by the 26-boat turnout at the Big Cat Regatta at Mannering Park Sailing Club this weekend. A great indicator of what’s ahead!
Class Measurement Stickers – Worlds Competitors
A reminder that all competitors must have class measurement stickers on sails and required components (Daggers, Rudders, Mast, Hulls) to race at the Worlds. These stickers form an essential part of the equipment inspection and compliance process.
If you’re unsure whether your sails or components are compliant, or if you need measurement and stickers issued, please visit this FAQ.
Activity is already underway in most states to sort this, so we have a smooth measurement process conducted by the international team at the event.
