A great new day of sailing concluded today in Hourtin, where the 2022 EurILCA Under 21 European Championships & Open European Trophy are being held. The event is organised by Club Voile Hourtin Medoc, with the support of the Municipality of Hourtin.

The day started with a 1:20 hour postponement on shore while waiting for the wind to come.

A cloudy weather slowly turned to sunny within the afternoon, while the wind varied from 7 to 14 knots during the whole competition.

This was the last day of the Qualifying series for the ILCA 7 fleet. The championship will be split in Gold and Silver groups from tomorrow. For the ILCA 6 it’s just half of the competition, as they are racing in a single group.
