    UNSTABLE BREEZE BRINGS QUALIFICATION SERIES TO A CLOSE IN LANZAROTE


    Two final Course Races set the top eight as the iQFOiL International Games move into Medal Series mode


    Lanzarote, February 10, 2026 - Day 4 of the iQFOiL International Games in Lanzarote, hosted at Marina Rubicon, brought another test of patience and adaptability for sailors and race officials alike. The fleet faced shifting breeze and unstable conditions that ultimately marked the end of the Qualification Series and set the stage for the upcoming Medal Series.


    When the fleet arrived in the North area, a few promising gusts suggested a possible start. However, the wind quickly faded, forcing the Race Committee to relocate the entire fleet to Pechiguera North in search of more stable conditions. The move proved initially successful, with a steady northerly breeze settling in at around 15 knots.


    With the wind blowing directly from the North, and thanks to the new race area location, the strategic picture opened up significantly compared to the previous days. Sailors were able to play both sides of the course, resulting in lively and well-balanced starts, with boards lining up on both port and starboard tack. Two Course Racing races were successfully completed for both the Men and the Women, rewarding tactical awareness and clean execution.


    Shortly after the conclusion of the second race, conditions changed abruptly. The wind dropped suddenly and it was no longer suitable for fair racing, the Race Committee made the call to abandon further racing for the day.


    With the completion of today’s races, the Qualification Series is now officially over. Attention now turns to the Medal Series, scheduled for tomorrow, where the top eight sailors in each fleet will battle it out for final positions.


    The Medal Series format will see sailors ranked fifth to eighth compete in the Quarter Finals. The top two finishers from the Quarter Final will advance to the Semi Final, where they will face the sailors ranked third and fourth overall. From the Semi Final, the top two will progress to the Grand Final against the sailors ranked first and second after the Opening Series. The top two qualifiers carry one match point into the Grand Final, which will continue until one sailor reaches two match points to secure victory.


    Top 8 Women

    1. Emma Wilson (GBR)

    2. Sharon Kantor (ISR)

    3. Marta Maggetti (ITA)

    4. Tamar Steinberg (ISR)

    5. Palma Čargo (CRO)

    6. Medea Falcioni (ITA)

    7. Theresa Marie Steinlein (GER)

    STRONGER BREEZE AND COURSE RACING

    SHAKE UP THE STANDINGS ON DAY 3


    Finn Hawkins regains the Men’s lead as Course Racing reshapes the rankings, while Emma Wilson continues to dominate in Lanzarote


    Lanzarote, Spain, February 9th, 2026 – After two days of fast-paced Sprint formats and constantly evolving conditions, Day 3 of the iQFOiL International Games in Lanzarote marked a clear shift in intensity, as stronger breeze and classic Course Racing reshaped both strategy and the provisional rankings.


    Today the wind increased and veered further to the right, settling more firmly in the North. Conditions ranged between 12 and 16 knots, with peaks close to 18, allowing the fleet to race at full power. With the wind consistently favoring the right side of the course, the strategic options were effectively reduced to a “full right” approach. This compressed the fleet into a narrow corridor, generating intense battles boat-for-boat and leaving little margin for error, especially at the starts and first crossings.

    The sea state also evolved compared to the previous days. While the short, steep swell eased, sailors had to contend with long swell trains, particularly challenging on the downwind legs, where careful line choice and foil control proved decisive.


    In the Women’s fleet, Emma Wilson (GBR) continues her impressive run, retaining the overall lead after three days of racing. Sharon Kantor (ISR) also holds firm in second place, confirming her consistency across a wide range of conditions. The biggest movement comes behind them, with Italy’s Marta Maggetti climbing onto the provisional podium in third place. Tamar Steinberg (ISR), who had been second after Day 1 and third after Day 2, slips just off the podium at the end of Day 3.


    The Men’s leaderboard saw a significant reshuffle with the introduction of Course Racing. Great Britain’s Finn Hawkins returns to the top of the provisional standings, showing strong form in conditions that rewarded consistency and tactical discipline. France’s Nicolas Goyard, who appeared to be waiting patiently for Course Racing, delivers a solid performance to move into second place overall, now just behind the leader. Another French sailor, Yun Pouliquen, maintains his momentum and holds on to third place. After leading the ranking yesterday, Italy’s Federico Pilloni endured a challenging day and slips back to ninth overall.


    With stronger breeze, tighter strategies and classic course racing now firmly in play, Day 3 confirmed that the iQFOiL International Games in Lanzarote are far from decided, setting the stage for more decisive battles as the regatta continues.

    SHIFTING GEARS AND RISING SWELL ON DAY 2 IN LANZAROTE


    Upwind Sprint racing reshapes the leaderboard as Pilloni takes the Men’s lead and Emma Wilson extends her dominance at the iQFOiL International Games


    After an action-packed opening day that set the tone for a high-intensity week in Lanzarote, Day 2 of the iQFOiL International Games delivered another full schedule of racing, with evolving conditions and tactical challenges testing the world’s best windfoilers.


    Today the racecourse was moved closer to the lighthouse, where sailors faced a slightly bigger swell compared to yesterday. The wind direction remained in the North / North-West quadrant, though it was lighter in the early hours. As a result, the Race Committee opened the day with a single Sprint Slalom race for the Men. As the breeze gradually built, the program shifted to Upwind Sprint racing: three races for the Men and four for the Women. These are short, fast-paced races with the fleet split into heats, featuring an upwind start that added an extra layer of complexity and rewarded precision and clean execution from the line.


    In the Men’s fleet, the leaderboard saw a significant shake-up. Italy’s Federico Pilloni (U23) enjoyed an outstanding day on the water, temporarily conquering the overall lead by overtaking Great Britain’s Finn Hawkins. France’s Yun Pouliquen sits third overall, while another U23 sailor, Spain’s Nacho Baltasar, is firmly in contention just behind in fourth place.


    The Women’s competition continues to be led by Emma Wilson (GBR), winner of this event last year, who further strengthened her grip on first place. With three race wins and a third today, Wilson extended her margin at the top of the standings. Another excellent day on the water sees Sharon Kantor (ISR) move into second overall, overtaking her compatriot Tamar Steinberg (ISR), now in third. Italy’s Marta Maggetti, the current Olympic gold medalist, holds fourth place, with the gap to the podium still very much within reach as the regatta progresses.


    With conditions proving varied and demanding, Day 2 confirmed that consistency, adaptability and sharp starts will be decisive factors as the iQFOiL International Games in Lanzarote move deeper into the competition.
