The 2025 OK Dinghy European Championship opens in Warnemünde this weekend with 118 sailors from 14 nations on the entry list. It will take place in the first half of Warnemünder Woche.
The entry list is a who's who of OK Dinghy sailing at the current time, though last year's champion, Luke Deegan, from New Zealand, is absent. Warnemünde is a favourite venue for the class and while the heatwave of the last week seems to have moved on, the wind forecast looks promising for some epic Warnemünde wave action.
Perhaps the strongest team here is the British. It includes current and six-time world champion Nick Craig, past world and European champion Charlie Cumbley, Matt Howard, and the runner up at last year's worlds and world no 3, Andy Davis.
There is also a raft of new and relatively new sailors to the class attending, highlighting the current growth across the world.
Registration and equipment inspection take place on Friday and Saturday with an eight-race series from Sunday to Wednesday. Racing will likely take place in two groups with two days each of qualifying and finals races.
