LEANFORCE leads under the Polish flag.
Poland's 82-boat small fleet is led by LEANFORCE at 24.4% (20 boats) — the compact-scale contingent, with a measured downwind advantage in race results, and the only one here to clear a fifth of the flag — ahead of LEANRUN at 15.9% (13 boats), then SPARKFLEX at 14.6% (12 boats) and HEFTLINE at 12.2% (10 boats) — SPARKFLEX minimal-scale on a tender reserve, HEFTLINE compact and level on a stiff reserve. Read with the small-N caveat: every share moves visibly with a single new boat.

National authority: Polski Związek Żeglarski
Polski Związek Żeglarski governs an 82-boat small fleet whose event footprint is unusually broad for its size. Eighty-two Polish boats race across twenty-two collected events — the Turkish winter series at MIYC, the Garmin ORC World Championships, the Aegean 600, the Rolex Middle Sea Race, the Aegean Regatta, the Italian La Ottanta series, the ORC European Championship, the Gulf of Riga Regatta, and the double-handed World and European championship circuit. Polish teams campaign broadly across HH42, Corel 45, Cape 31, GP 33, Dufour, Dehler, and Figaro hulls under the POL prefix.
The current platform read is led by a compact-scale plurality ahead of a close-packed middle order. LEANFORCE takes 24.4% (20 boats) — the compact-scale contingent of the Compact family, and the only archetype here to clear a fifth of the flag. LEANRUN follows at 15.9% (13 boats) — the large-scale, upright-postured Large-Platform contingent. Behind it, SPARKFLEX takes 14.6% (12 boats) and HEFTLINE 12.2% (10 boats) — SPARKFLEX the minimal-scale tier of the Compact family, and HEFTLINE the compact, level-postured tier of the Displacement-Led family. All eight archetypes populate the fleet, framing it as broadly diversified rather than a single-hull-type culture. On the designer side, Farr Design carries the most-represented design voice at 13.4% (11 boats) above a long fragmented tail — no single design house carrying a dominant share.
In 2026, this fleet's key Baltic anchor was the ORC European Championship at Klaipeda (August 10–15) — the regional summer title on the Lithuanian coast, the natural summer stage for the broad-reaching Polish program after the early-season MIYC Kiş winter series. CHACAL (POL 22511, HH42, AEROSTREAM) won Class A at MIYC Kiş Trofesi 3. Ayak in February 2026 on 7 points across a 14-race series — Poland's one class-winning story of the current build on international scoresheets.
