The 2018 Laser Master European championships concluded today in Vigo, Spain.
After 5 days of races with most of times tricky winds, our Laser Master sailors could enjoy of a nice week with warm weather, plenty of sun, fun and camaraderie.
Sailors were sent earlier to courses this morning with a nice wind and aiming to make 3 final races, but after a short and strong rain the wind completely disappeared.
Finally close to the 15:00 last warning signal the wind showed up again, allowing one last race to be added to scores.
