Watch these Maxi yachts battle it out in incredibly tight quarters at Sorrento! Flawless sail execution and raw power from the fleet. #Sailing #MaxiYacht #NorthSails #YachtRacing #Sorrento #IMAMaxi #sailinglife #NSVictoryList #North3Di #Maxi --- At the 2026 IMA Maxi European Championship, North Sails didn't just show up, we showed up in every class, on every podium, in every condition Sorrento threw at the fleet.   Karel Komárek's V claimed the Maxi 1 European title, with Ken Read, Sime Fantela, Phil Harmer, and Pablo Arrarte executing a measured final race, controlling the fleet to the layline and never letting go. Peter Harrison's Jolt, with tactician Nic Asher, left the best to last: a clean win on the final day to secure the Maxi Grand Prix title. Behind them, North Star and Django 7X completed a full North podium sweep in the class. In Maxi 3, Manticore scored two bullets across the week. H2O took second in Maxi 4-5.   Four classes. A European title, a podium sweep, and silverware in every division we entered. Congratulations to every North Sails team that raced this week. --- "Sorrento. Four classes. North Sails teams on every podium. Not a bad week. 🏆🌊 #IMAMaxi #maxiyacht"
