ILCA 6 Youth European Championships and Open European Trophy 2026 in Thessaloniki - Day 4

by Agustín Argüelles 17 Jul 08:59 BST 13-18 July 2026

The final series got under way in style at the 2026 ILCA 6 Youth European Championships & Open European Trophy, with sailors enjoying wonderful sailing conditions of 9 to 12 knots throughout the afternoon in Thessaloniki.

With the qualifying series now behind them and fleets regrouped for the final series, all six groups completed both scheduled races on the day, making the most of the steady breeze on both course areas.

The last fleet was back ashore by 18:15, where sailors were welcomed with a pasta meal at the club.

The final series continues tomorrow, 17 July, with two more days of racing before the championship concludes on 18 July. Stay tuned to EurILCA's channels for live updates from the courses and the full daily report.
