Sponsors – IOM World Championship 2026

ROOSTER SAILING

Born from a love of dinghy sailing, Rooster® was founded in 1999 by Steve Cockerill with a simple mission: to make high-quality, accessible sailing gear for everyone.

Starting out in his spare room in the UK, Steve relied on friends to help create the very first products – driven by his own frustration at not being able to find kit that truly worked. www.roostersailing.com

SOCH SAILS

The concept of producing sails for the DF65 class came about in October 2014 when we decided to make a suit of sails for one of our own yachts. Previously we had always used other sailmakers to supply our sails, and whilst we’d always been very pleased with the sails that we received we liked the idea of building our own as it brought another element of what we do “in house” and it now allows us an extra element of control over what we do. www.sochsails.co.uk

RC YACHTS

Our Goal: With our experience and knowledge base – to give our customers the complete experience of radio sailing. To not only supply the latest DF Racing Yachts but to supply the full product resources to keep them sailing and racing with all the latest spares, extras and accessories supplied from stock.
