After a slow start (14, 11) Tonci Stipanovic and Tudor Bilic upped their pace to take three race wins in the next four races to claim the 2022 Star European Championship.
Croatia’s Stipanovic and Bilic finished the series with 17 points, one point ahead of the USA’s Jack Jennings and Pedro Trouche, with Hubert Merkelbach and Kilian Weise of Germany in third with 20 points.
A very well managed 2022 European Championship by the Royal Danish Yacht Club whose management got also involved in helping two Ukrainian teams to have a license to join the fleet and be able to forget about the bombings for a week of just sport among friends.
The Star class fleet will meet again in a little more than a month on Lake Sunapee, New Hampshire, for the 2022 Star Western Hemisphere, before the long awaited 100th Anniversary 2022 Star World Championship in Marblehead, Massachusetts in mid September.
