Women's Open Keelboat Championship

28/09/2026

WOKC 2027 is in the planning stages!

We’re looking for a few new committee members to join us and help plan next year’s event.

Whether you’ve been involved with WOKC before or are completely new to it, we’d love to have you involved. There are lots of ways to help, from ideas and planning to getting stuck in behind the scenes.

We’re also looking for sponsors and partners for WOKC 2027. If you or your business would be interested in getting involved, or you have a contact who might be a good fit, we’d love to hear from you.

Interested in joining the committee, getting involved as a sponsor, or simply have a lead for us?

Drop us a message — we’d love to hear from you! 💙

So excited to have Pantaenius UK back onboard! 🌊

Shaping up to be a fantastic few days on the water, from 5th-7th June at the Royal Southern Yacht Club, the Women's Open Keelboat Championship will bring together female sailors and teams from across the sailing community. This is an incredible opportunity to enjoy a full weekend of racing on the Solent.

Encouraging confident, capable sailors both on and off the water sits at the heart of what we do, which is why we’re proud to be involved in events like WOKC. They play such an important role in highlighting participation, visibility and progression for women within competitive sailing - while also creating an environment that combines high-quality racing with strong community spirit.

Pantaenius UK is proud to be supporting this year’s event, with our Island RIBs boat on hand throughout the championship and plenty happening shoreside across the weekend too.

We're also delighted that Rosanna from the PUK team will be joining the event both as part of the support team and competing on the water as a crew member.

There’s still time to enter 👇
