The ILCA Masters European Championship 2024 concluded on October 11, 2024 with a spectacular
prize-giving ceremony at MoTAO, marking the end of a thrilling week of racing in
Vilamoura Sailing. The final day began with an early start, anticipating stormy weather. However, the
forecast surprised us, turning into a warm, sunny morning with no wind, causing a
delay in the races. Finally, the wind picked up in the afternoon, and racing could
proceed. The ILCA 6 fleet had their first start at 14:20, followed by the ILCA 7 fleet.
