Dutch duo Willemijn Offerman and Scipio Houtman are the 2024 Nacra 17 European Champions.
The weather hit Championship wrapped up at Circolo Velico Sferracavallo in Palermo, with a new race format designed to intensify the final challenge.
After four days of racing, with just six opening series races due to the light breeze conditions, the top two teams — Netherlands and Italy — faced off in two final match races.
Offerman and Houtman ultimately prevailed over Italy’s Gianluigi Ugolini and Maria Giubilei, who took the silver, while Belgian siblings Kwinten and Lieselotte Borghijs claimed bronze and the Junior European Champion title.
