2026 ILCA Masters European Championships race day 3

Unstable winds limit racing on Day 3 of the 2026 ILCA Master Europeans

By /

Day 3 began with a short postponement ashore. The Delta flag was raised at 12:30, but unstable wind on the course forced a further postponement out on the water, which lasted until 15:00. When the breeze finally arrived, both courses got racing under way, with winds varying between 4 and 8 knots.

The conditions did not last for the ILCA 6 fleet, however, and the wind died soon after the start, forcing race officers to abandon racing on that course. The ILCA 7 fleet fared better, with a steadier 6-9 knots allowing them to complete one race before the breeze faded there too, right after the start of a second race. All sailors were back ashore by around 17:00, for a meal and some rest ahead of the final two days of competition.

With five races now on the scoreboard for the ILCA 7 and four races for the ILCA 6 after three days of racing, here are the provisional leaders in all Masters categories:
