Entry has opened for the 2026 OK Dinghy World Championship, to be held in Skovshoved, Denmark, from 5-12 June. The Notice of Race has also been published.

It will be the first time the world championship has been held in Denmark since 2012, when there was a then record-breaking entry of 145 boats. That record was smashed this year with 212 boats at the worlds on Garda, while Skovshoved is expected to attract more than 150 boats.

The event is being hosted by The Royal Danish Yacht Club (KDY) and Hellerup Sejlklub (HS) in Skovshoved Harbour, just to the north of Copenhagen. Hellerup Sejlklub boasts one of the biggest fleets of OK Dinghies in the world.

The early entry period is open until 15 April, after which there will be a late entry fee.

The Notice of Race has also been published and can be found with the entry form through Manage2Sail here.

The event website with lots of information about the venue and accommodation can be found at 2026.okworlds.org
