    Planning notes

    • Schedule, qualification and class detail come from World Sailing's Dakar 2026 site — link it rather than restating it.
    • Youth Olympic coverage draws a family and parent audience, so lead with pathway and participation content, not results tables.
    • For clubs: youth Games years are the strongest moment of the cycle to publish a 'start sailing' page and capture beginner demand.

    Event photos & logo

    We publish photography and event marks only where the owner has cleared it and can be credited by name, so there is no gallery for Dakar 2026 YOG yet. Photographers, clubs and organisers: send images to info@digitalsailors.org with the credit line and licence you want shown and we will publish them with your credit and a link back to you.
