Rooster Sailing has been confirmed as the official apparel partner for the 2026 ILCA World Championships in Dún Laoghaire.

The agreement will see the British sailing clothing specialist supply all official event apparel, including race bibs, competitor clothing and volunteer uniforms for the world championship.

The partnership was marked during a meeting at the Royal St. George Yacht Club this week between representatives of Rooster and the organising committee.

Event organiser Don O'Dowd said the partnership would support the delivery of one of Ireland's biggest sailing events while strengthening preparations ahead of the championship.

Rooster has also confirmed it is working with organisers on a coordinated communications plan to promote the championship internationally with official event media to be shared across multiple platforms.
