2025 Suzuki ILCA Master European Championships at Hayling Island Sailing Club

2025 Suzuki ILCA Master European Championships at Hayling Island Sailing Club - Overall

by Agustín Argüelles 20 Jun 22:25 UTC 16-20 June 2025

The 2025 Suzuki ILCA Master European Championships concluded today in Hayling Island, Great Britain, after five days of competition and nine races held for both fleets. A strong wind was expected today, but conditions turned out to be lighter than forecast — though still manageable.

This morning saw around 10 knots, but once the sailors were on the water, the wind dropped to 6-7 knots. As a result, the first race took place in light conditions. However, wind strength gradually increased throughout the day, reaching 10-12 knots for the second race and up to 15 knots by the third.

While the morning was overcast, the sun eventually broke through, making for a great day of sailing.

Third overall was for the Apprentice Women's champion Maura Dewey CAN of Canada, with 23 points.
