It was a long day on the water for all 304 Master sailors participating in the 2024 ILCA Master European Championships in Vilamoura, Portugal.
Extremely light winds allowed for only one race to be completed across all seven fleets.
As we head into race day three tomorrow, there have been just two races held for the ILCA 6 Legend, two races for the ILCA 7 Apprentice Master and ILCA 7 Master, and one for the rest of the fleets.
Furthermore, strong weather is predicted for tomorrow, making it even more challenging to catch up with the schedule.
