As the 2026 international season draws to a close, the latest World Sailing Rankings underline the strength and depth of the British ILCA fleet 🇬🇧
In the ILCA7, three British sailors sit inside the world’s top six, with Elliot Hanson 2️⃣, Micky Beckett 3️⃣ and Finley Dickinson 6️⃣. In total, 14 GBR sailors feature inside the world top 200.
There’s plenty to celebrate in the ILCA6 too. Matilda Nicholls sits at 4️⃣ in the world, with Daisy Collingridge at 🔟, giving GBR two sailors inside the top ten and 10 British sailors inside the world top 250.
Rankings are only a snapshot, but they’re a great reflection of the depth of British talent competing internationally and the work being put in across the fleet. With another season almost complete, attention will soon turn to the winter: time to reset, develop and build towards 2027.
🇬🇧 People. Performance. Progress.
