Schubert Wins OK Dinghy Worlds

Johan Schubert (DEN) is the 2026 OK Dinghy World Champion, taking the title in Skovshoved with a BigFoot one design sail from UK Sailmakers Denmark.

Schubert sealed the win with two race wins on the final day, topping a 204-boat fleet from 14 countries and delivering Denmark’s first OK Dinghy world title in 46 years.

The BigFoot sail design is the product of years of development by loft owner Morten Ullmann and top sailors in the OK Dinghy class, refined race after race to get the shape just right. This result is a strong validation of their efforts.

UK Sailmakers Denmark served as both Johan’s sailmaker and a regatta sponsor, making the win a full circle moment for the loft.

Congratulations to Johan and the whole UK Sailmakers Denmark team!
