Peter Peet, from The Netherlands, has won the 2023 Finn European Masters at Campione del Garda, Italy, after a nervous last day with a long wait for wind and then two more challenging races in light and shifty winds. Britain’s John Greenwood took second with Simon Bovay, from Switzerland, moving back up to third.
Peet,“I’m really happy that I’ve won the regatta especially with this light weather which is not my favourite. This morning I did a really bad race and the afternoon I got a second place, and overall I won so I’m really happy with that.”
Greenwood, “Another tough day on the water. Everybody was trying their best and we had two winds. Sometimes the wind came in, sometimes it didn’t so everybody had a lot of racing. I think the lesson learnt today is just keep with the wind and keep the head out of the boat. I was lucky, in the first race not so good in the second race better so I hang on second overall.”
