The Event

About the championship

The championship was hosted by the Nautical Athletic Club of Lavrio (NAOL) in Lavrio, from 24 to 28 October 2026. It brought together the best young sailors in the country for five days of racing in authentic open-sea conditions.

The ILCA 4 class

The ILCA 4 (formerly Laser 4.7) is the entry singlehanded dinghy for young athletes in the Olympic ILCA family. With a smaller sail (4.7 sq.m.) on the same hull, it is the ideal stepping stone toward the ILCA 6 and ILCA 7 and the most widely used youth-development boat in the world.

Organising authority

The event was organised by NAOL together with the Municipality of Lavreotiki, under the auspices of the Hellenic Sailing Federation (HSF) and in accordance with the rules of World Sailing and the ILCA class.
