Portorož, Slovenia
June 26 to July 6, 2025
The 2025 Optimist World Championship, hosted in the coastal town of Portorož, Slovenia, brought together the world’s top young sailors. OneSails emerged as the most dominant sailmaker in the fleet, powering 113 boats—more than any other brand.
The championship saw top performances from sailors using OneSails:
🥈 Mihael (Slovenia) – 2nd Overall
🥉 Karl (Denmark) – 3rd Overall
🥉 Margaux (Hong Kong) – 3rd Girl Overall
With light and inconsistent winds throughout the week, races were postponed, and sailors had to remain fully focused to take advantage of the few opportunities on the water. The weather conditions demanded extreme concentration, patience, and precision. In this context, the performance of the equipment made a decisive difference.
We interviewed the sailors to hear their thoughts on OneSails. They highlighted the power the sails provide even in light waves, combined with exceptional sensitivity that allows for precise control throughout the race. They also mentioned feeling noticeably faster compared to other competitors, along with the ability to point very high without losing performance.
OneSails continues to set the standard in youth sailing, proving that superior technology and design make all the difference when it matters most.
