Britain’s Charlie Cumbley won the 2025 OK Dinghy European Championship, in Warnemünde, Germany, after all racing was cancelled on the last day with strong winds and passing storms.
Canada’s Ben Flower takes the silver while Sweden’s Daniel Björndahl takes bronze.
After an early three-hour postponement was made, the decision to cancel was made mid-morning with many sailors already packing up.
By early afternoon it was gusting 30 knots on shore with a huge sea state, as everyone took shelter in the Lokschuppen for the prizegiving. The wind did not drop below 25 knots until late afternoon.
