Yoann Trécul and Thomas Ferrand have once again proven their dominance in the Tornado class, securing the 2024 European Championship title in the familiar waters of Quiberon, France.

Following their spectacular 2023 season, where the French duo claimed both the World and European championships, they have continued their winning streak on home soil. Despite a competitive 3rd place finish at the 2024 World Championships, Trécul and Ferrand showcased their determination and expertise by taking the top spot at the European event.

The challenging conditions in Quiberon, renowned for testing even the most skilled sailors, only served to highlight their mastery of the Tornado class. The victory in front of a home crowd was particularly sweet, affirming their status as one of the premier teams on the international stage.

Congratulations to Yoann Trécul and Thomas Ferrand for another outstanding performance!
