The 2026 EurILCA Master Belgium was hosted by the SNEH Club de voile, Plate Taille, Belgique from 9 to 11 May.
A total of 41 sailors competed across the ILCA 6 and ILCA 7 fleets for three days of challenging and enjoyable sailing.
Saturday brought tricky and unpredictable winds, both in direction and strength, allowing however to complete 2 races.
On Sunday, the breeze settled nicely at 7–9 knots and the jury managed to hold 3 good races.
Monday delivered the most consistent conditions of the weekend with a stable wind at 8–11 knots and another 3 races could be completed.
Ashore, competitors enjoyed a nice evening meals with Dijon-style pork fillet and heritage vegetables, followed by a delicious veal blanquette.
A huge thank you to all volunteers, race officials, competitors, and supporters who made this event possible!
