Due to low winds, only one race was held on Friday, and no racing was possible on Saturday and Sunday. As a result, the winners of the first day were eventually crowned overall champions.
This last regatta marks the end of the EurILCA Europa Cup Trophy 2024, with all 11 regattas successfully completed across Europe, setting a historic record of 2010 participants.
The EurILCA Europa Cup Trophy will soon begin with the first edition of the 2025 edition, which will take place in Bodrum, Turkey, from 22 to 26 January.
