The 2024 EurILCA Europa Cup Slovenia concluded in Koper after three days of competition in the ILCA 4, ILCA 6, and ILCA 7 classes.
A total of 128 sailors from 20 countries were part of the event, organised by JK Jadro Koper.
The last day saw cloudy skies and a steady easterly breeze blowing at around 7 knots, which gradually subsided by the afternoon.
Despite the lighter wind, it remained steady enough to allow the ILCA 4 class to catch up on races that couldn’t be completed on the first and second days due to insufficient wind.
