The 2022 EurILCA Master European Championships concluded in great way today after the last two scheduled races held in L’Escala, Spain.
7-10 knots of wind and almost flat water were the prevailing sailing conditions for all 5 fleets.
The day started with 2,5 hours postponement due to lack of wind. Finally all 256 sailors were sent to water at 13:30 to enjoy of a wonderful sunny day and champagne sailing conditions.
Most of the overnight leaders managed to keep the first spots, although there were some last minute changes.
After all 10 scheduled races with light to medium winds during these five days of competition, we can announce now our new 2022 EurILCA Master European Championships in all 13 categories!
