After three days of high-octane foiling in the heart of the Whitsundays, Louis Tilly and Bridget Conrad have been crowned the 2026 WASZP Australian National Champions for the men's and women's divisions respectively.

Now sailing with number 5 after this year's WASZP Games success, Tilly secured four bullets across the 12-race series and rarely dropped out of the top three. Will Troop claimed second, and Conall Green third. Conrad's performance was equally convincing, winding up 18 points clear of her nearest rival, with tourists Dahlia Fyfe of New Zealand and Brit Harriet George in second and third.
