The 2022 EurILCA Under 21 European Championships & Open European Trophy concluded today after 6 fantastic days of competition.
The day started with a postponement on shore due to lack of wind. The first warning signal was supposed to be at 13:00 but it was only at 14:20 when the wind arrived and all sailors launched their boats.
There was also some delay on water and an AP flag within the first start, but later on the Race Committee managed to set the course properly in relation to the wind and a last nice race could be sailed by both Gold fleets. The ILCA 7 Silver fleet had also a start, just over the 17:00 time limit, but unfortunately a general recall made them all to return to shore without any new races.
