Laser II European Championships at Makkum

by Mike Croker 25 Jun 2008 12:45 BST

Congratulations to UK sailors Nigel Skudder and Keith Hills for taking the 2008 European Championships with eight bullets and just one second place. It was not all plain sailing though, with the weather delaying the start of the event and Germany's Lisa Buddemeier and Matthias Duewel pushing hard throughout to keep Skudder and Hills honest.

Overall Results: (top five)

1st GBR, Nigel Skudder & Keith Hills, 10pts
2nd GER, Lisa Buddemeier & Matthias Duewel, 19pts
3rd IRL, Conor Byrne & Han Horlings, 32pts
4th NED, Rinse Ubbink & Diederik Keij, 34pts
5th GBR, Jude Baird & Fred Fuller, 38pts
