The 2021 Europa Cup HUN concluded yesterday in Balaton, organised by Balatonfüredi Yacht Club, in conjunction with the Hungarian Sailing Federation, and sponsored by Rooster-Monautix.
The Race Committee went on water at 10 am, one hour later than the previous days because there were no proper winds for a race. By 10.30 am the team could set the course and from that time on could manage a successful race for the three ILCA classes. In the 7th race the team had to shorten the course for the ILCA 4 class because the wind had turned and later dropped. Unfortunately, the 7th race for the ILCA 6 class couldn’t be finished because the wind completely dropped.
After 7 successful races for ILCA 7 and ILCA 4 classes and 6 successful races for the ILCA 6 class, the 2021 Europa Cup Hungary –also Hungarian National Championships– has ended, crowning the following champions.
