2025-11 - Regatta of Champions (R.O.C.) Will Keilty
For the first time since the Regatta of Champions (R.O.C.) was established in 2022, a Canadian sailor earned an invitation to this prestigious event in Limassol, Cyprus.
The R.O.C. is a truly unique competition in the Optimist sailing world — an exclusive, invitation-only regatta that gathers the top young sailors from around the globe. The 2025 edition challenged competitors with 25 races spread across six demanding days on the water.
Will Keilty delivered an incredible performance. He captured three race wins and secured an impressive 4th overall finish against some of the best youth sailors in the world.
It’s a remarkable achievement for a Canadian sailor at such a high level of international competition. What an outstanding season for three-time national champion Will Keilty!
