The world of sailing is evolving at full speed—foiling yachts are flying above the waves in the America’s Cup, offshore racing sailboats are pushing boundaries of endurance at Vendee Globe, IMOCA (Open 6) pushes human and material limits across the most brutal waters on the planet. New technologies are reshaping what’s possible on the seas across the world. But it’s not just the big boats leading the charge.

The IOM class is right there at the forefront, growing in speed, precision, and global reach. With cutting-edge materials, razor-sharp designs, and a passionate worldwide community, IOM racing delivers the same intensity, strategy, and engineering marvel—scaled to perfection.

What you see in the highest tiers of sailing, you’ll find here too: innovation, tactics, mastery, and the relentless pursuit of performance.

As proud sponsors, we’re excited to bring you this action LIVE on the Sailboat RC YouTube channel with the upcoming European Championship 2025, straight from picturesque Rogoznica in Croatia! With almost 100 IOM sailors under SHRS scoring, we’ll witness the amazing competition that is finally here.

For those who are maybe unfamiliar with IOM sailboats, these RC boats are not just some simple boring sailing models — they are precision-engineered mean machines truly focused on racing; pushing the limits of fiberglass, epoxy, carbon, 3D print filaments and other high-performance materials used in their construction. Will fiberglass hulls ride the gusts or yield under pressure? Will the carbon fins flex or hold? Will every ounce of design brilliance translate to speed — or snap under the intensity of competition? Will braided sheets withstand pressure of forces while they pass through thin fittings?

And that’s just the technical side of the IOM story—there’s also the battle of tactics and pure sailing skill. On the water, it’s a test of minds as much as it is of rigs, sails, hulls, fittings, and electronics, all working in perfect tension between instinct and engineering. Will tactics unlock the narrowest lanes of breeze? Will quick reactions save a race lost in seconds? Will perfect trim slice through unpredictable shifts? Will strategy outsmart raw speed at the critical mark? Will experience outweigh the rising pressure of the championship start line?

These IOM sailboats are often balanced on the razor’s edge between art and science. The IOM class has advanced to a level where it captivates not only seasoned sailors, but anyone who appreciates precision and performance in sailing! It is not wonder that it attracts some of the most famous names in sailing world today.

The last LIVE broadcast from Australia proved the potential for growth is enormous, especially when lots of passionate people join their forces together. Now, Rogoznica takes the spotlight with the largest event in IOM history. Prepare for racing at the very limits of performance—where skill, strategy, and precision collide.
