Sixty foilers from the A-class, Moth and WASZP classes took part in the Easter foiling event at Univela Campione on Lake Garda in Italy.
Twenty-two WASZPs competed in the season opener, the largest fleet out of the A-class and Moth.
Winner in the A-Class was Holland’s Mischa Heemskerk, winning seven of the nine races. Emmanuel Dode of France was second and third was Jacek Noetzel of Poland.
In the International Moth class, Bruni Francesco of Italy also won seven races to finish ahead of Carlo de Paoli of Italy with third Fabian Gielen of Germany.
In the WASZP event, Alexander Dahl Hogheim of Norway finished 12 points ahead of Garnier Mael of France with Eliott Savelon of Holland third.
The event started with a clinic hosted by the best WASZP sailors in the world.
Current WASZP Games champion Rory Hunter from Britain and Alexander Hogheim from Norway led the way, working with the 20+ sailors with everyone showing fantastic improvement across the week.
The 2019 WASZP European Championship is expecting over 100 boats between the 15-20 July at Fraglia Vela Malcesine, with a huge focus on lifestyle, tight racing and new and exciting formats.
