The 2024 Finn Open European Championship was opened in sunny Cannes Sunday evening with more than 150 boats completing registration and equipment inspection.
This makes it the largest Finn European Championship of all time and heralds the start of what looks like a challenging week on the waters off Cannes.
A warm-up regatta over the weekend was thwarted by lack of wind on Sunday meaning that Saturday’s results stood.
World No. 1 Laurent Hay, from France, took the win from Valerian Lebrun and Finland’s Kristian Sjöberg.
Racing is scheduled to start at 12.00 on Monday 21 Oct and continues through until Friday.
