International Six Metre Association members have officially selected the venues for two future major championships following the ISMA Online Vote held on 26 May 2026.

Club Nàutic S’Arenal in Mallorca, Spain has been chosen to host the 2028 International Six Metre European Championships, while the Royal Irish Yacht Club in Dublin, Ireland has been selected as the venue for the 2031 International Six Metre World Championships.

ISMA President Louis Heckly welcomed the outcome of the vote: “We are very pleased to confirm these two outstanding venues for future International Six Metre championships. Both clubs presented excellent proposals and demonstrated a strong commitment to the class. The ISMA looks forward to working closely with both organising authorities over the coming years.”

Speaking on behalf of the Royal Irish Yacht Club, Joe Conaway said: “We are honoured by the confidence shown by ISMA members and very excited to welcome the Six Metre fleet to Dun Laoghaire in 2031. The RIYC is committed to delivering a memorable World Championships both on and off the water. The 2031 Six Metre World Championships will form an important part of our bi-centenary celebrations in 2031 and the sight of these beautiful boats racing once again in Dublin Bay will leave a lasting memory.”

Club Nàutic S’Arenal President José Ramón Picó commented: “It is a great privilege for Club Nàutic S’Arenal to host the 2028 European Championships. Mallorca has a long tradition in international sailing, and we are looking forward to welcoming the Six Metre class for what we hope will be a fantastic championship.”

The exact dates for both events will be announced at a later stage.

In the meantime, the International Six Metre calendar continues with the 2026 European Championships in Geneva this July, followed by the 2027 International Six Metre World Championships in Helsinki from 8 to 14 August. The 2029 International Six Metre World Championships will take place at Yacht Club Costa Smeralda in Porto Cervo, Italy.
