The WASZP Games 2025, being held at the Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy in the UK, has attracted 248 of the foiling dinghies to take part in a week of varied and high intensity racing.

I travelled down to Portland Harbour to speak to the sailors and organisers, including SailingFast's Duncan Hepplewhite, Women's Sprint Champion Pearl Lattanzi from Hawaii, Allen's Ben Harden, who is coming to grips with the WASZP and foiling, and Raffy Seddon, who started out in the WASZP at the beginning of the year.

We also bring you superb commentary from the Race 5 start by Marc Ablett.

All sailing footage thanks to the great team at Down Under Sail.
