OCEAN BMW M24 EUROPEANS COMPETITOR INFORMATION

From Adrian Peach, Euros Organiser - We have just run the North Sails Gold Cup as a warm up event to the Melges 24 European Championships with great success, congratulations go to Denis Infante of Euro-voiles with Christiphe Barrue at the helm.

(See home page for reports). Eight races and race wins going to 6 different boats, lets hope the local knowledge gained by Euro-voiles or second placed Sogeti from Monaco don’t give them too much of an advantage for the Europeans in under 3 weeks time.!!

52 boats are now entered for the Ocean BMW M24 Europeans. I know there are still some teams trying to sort out their finances and logistics for the event so the fleet is looking strong. The current European Champion Joe Fly has entered, as has the current World Champion Partner & Partners with the amazing Sébastien Col taking time out from his America’s Cup commitments to try and gain the European crown to his collection.
