For the final day of the Acton Belle Property International Moth Worlds 2026 at Mounts Bay Sailing Club on the Swan River, Perth, Australia, the Fremantle Doctor was back on form, providing a sea breeze from the south west - just as it should be.

French superstar Enzo Ballanger wrapped up the win in style, finishing second in the opening race of the day with Australia's Jack Ferguson taking the win, and then Enzo won race 12 in the series to seal the championship, retaining the trophy for a second year.

He carried on racing but with the tricolor French flag strapped to his sail, so it was no wonder he finished 13th in the closing race.

Once back ashore Enzo said, "It's incredible! What an exceptional year, winning a second world title as well as the European title. This week has been really intense, with strong winds and a very competitive fleet. Although the final standings might suggest otherwise, every race was extremely close. You had to fight for every place and stay consistent.

"I'm so happy to have defended my title. Handing the trophy back before the championship felt strange, and all I wanted was to bring it home to France again. It's a huge honour to see my name alongside those of so many great sailors."

The home nation Australia took the other two places on the podium with Ryan Littlechild finishing second and Jack Ferguson taking third after a superb final day 1,3,10,2 scoreline.

Great Britain's Hattie Rogers regained the Women's title finishing 20th overall. She said it had been a "pretty tough but epic week... the conditions absolutely delivered." Her goal? "Beat as many boys as possible!" She was quick to thank her shore team (her dad and her partner) for helping with a few breakages.

In the Lowriders it was Britain's Paul Hignett who took both the line honours and handicap wins, but it was an incredibly tight battle on handicap with Australia's John Hilton, with just a single point in it. Paul mused, "it's such a fun, rewarding boat, just blasting along on a reach. But it can bite you as well!"
