The 49er, 49erFX and Nacra European Championships will take place in Vilamoura on Portugal’s Algarve coast. Racing starts on Wednesday November 8 and concludes on Monday November 13.
Normally the Olympic classes circuit would be done and dusted by now, and athletes would be settling into their winter training regimes building up to the start of the following season. But with Paris 2024 just nine months away the Olympic classes are squeezing as many regattas into the Games run-up, starting with the 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 classes. The European Championships is the first major outing for these three fleets since the World Championships in the Hague in July, so expect plenty of action as rivalries new and old play out Vilamoura’s Atlantic waters.
The official website is featuring results and the full entry list. The final three days of the regatta will be livestreamed. If you want to track the progress of the Brits the best place to do so is the British Sailing Team social media channels. Each day we will keep you posted on results, and feature the best photos the event has to offer.
