Sporty conditions challenged teams and equipment Friday at the Apotea J/70 European Championship, as two more races brought the current total to eight.

When ILCA Chairman Mark Lyttle welcomed over two hundred sailors and army of supporters to Plas Heli, he stressed that this is as much a festival of sailing as a competition.

Paul Meilhat’s Biotherm (FRA) has won the third leg after holding off Rosalin Kuiper’s Holcim – PRB (SUI) over a stormy final 24 hours at sea that saw a fierce Mediterranean storm packing howling winds up to 70 knots winds pass over the race course.

After a superb contest with second-placed Team Holcim-PRB in Leg 3 of The Ocean Race Europe, Paul Meilhat the skipper of race leader Biotherm, was able to breathe a big sigh of relief as he notched his third stage win in a row.

Sunshine and strong winds made the fleets muster all their technical skills on the 6th day of Burnham Week 2025.

Another light wind day for day 4 of the Europeans in Germany. It was tight at the top between 2 British boats, Glen Truswell & Ed FitzGerald leading Andy Shaw & Rob Struckett by 1 point.

A total of 86 boats competed in racing over the three days. A mixture of 25 different dinghy classes sailed in the two handicap fleets with sailors young and old revelling in the champagne sailing conditions.

As ways go to earn yourself a pint (the day’s sponsor was Hall & Woodhouse), racing on the Thursday of Poole Week in 2025 was probably among the harder ones.

With the start of the RC44 World Championship today off Scheveningen, the Netherlands lived up to its reputation for being able to offer four seasons in one day. The start of racing was first delayed by an hour waiting for the wind to fill in.
