RPAYC Sailors Took on WASZP Games 2026

Three RPAYC sailors, Jervis Tilly, Will Troop and Louis Tilly, competed at one of the biggest events on the international foiling calendar, the WASZP Games 2026 in Pensacola, Florida.

The games wrapped up after five days and 18 races on Pensacola Bay, delivering a championship defined by tight margins, shifting conditions, new racing formats, and a final day that lived up to expectations.

Across the week, sailors were tested in everything Pensacola could throw at them – from unstable, tactical breeze to high-intensity reaching starts – creating a regatta where consistency proved decisive and the leaderboard remained under pressure until the very end, providing a major test for RPAYC’s foiling talent on the global stage.

Across the 8.2 rig divisions, the depth of the fleet was on full display with Australia’s Louis Tilly leaving as the All Stars Champion and Youth World Champion (u21)

It was fantastic to see Jervis, Will and Louis representing RPAYC at such a high-profile international event.

In the 8.2 Class:
5th Place – Louis Tilly 
16th Place – Will Troop
30th Place – Jervis Tilly
