The 2024 EurILCA Europa Cup Trophy kicked off this weekend in Portimão, Portugal, with the 2024 EurILCA Europa Cup POR. The event was organised by Clube Naval de Portimão.
The first and third days featured light wind conditions, in stark contrast to the strong 16 knots and 2-meter waves experienced on the second day of trials. These varying conditions provided an opportunity for all 150 sailors to showcase their skills in diverse sailing situations.
