The penultimate day of races of the 2022 EurILCA Master European Championships concluded today in L’Escala, Spain, with two new races added to scores, being 8 now in total as per scheduled for all 5 fleets.
The day started with a 1 hour postponement in the morning due to lack of wind. Previously at 09:30 the Club Nautic L’Escala –following the EurILCA Sustainability Programme’s and Sailors for the Sea’s guidance– organized a beach cleanup in the area with sailors and parents, collecting many plastic waste from the neighboring Montgri’s natural park.
The sailing conditions were fantastic this afternoon, with 10-12 knots of breeze in the first set of races and 12-15 knots in the last part of the day, with nice strong but short waves that made the sailing more challenging.
All 256 sailors returned to the club between 15:30 to 16:30 to enjoy of a pasta meal at the tent and recover for the last day of competition coming tomorrow.
