US VIRGIN ISLANDS – The 2026 ISCA World Cup is in the books, and a couple of Bahamians turned in some strong finishes.
Joss Knowles finished in 27th place overall, while Tanaj Manos finished 40th overall.
Bahamas Sailing Association President Lori Lowe put out a statement hailing the two sailors, pointing out that Bahamians haven’t finished in the top 40 at the World Sunfish Championships since Donnie Martinborough and Charles Kelly in 2009, right here in The Bahamas.
The Bahamas was well-represented at the games.
If you recall last week, we highlighted the team that competed in the youth event, but we weren’t done quite yet.
The ISCA World Cup is one of the most prestigious events in the sport of sailing, featuring sailors from across the globe in age groups ranging from youth to age 79.
This strong finish is the result of years of investment in youth participation in the sport of sailing.
However, the sailing association and the sailors know that they still have work to do.
