The Inclusive 2.4mR World Championship 2025 officially concluded Sunday at Fraglia Vela Malcesine, Lake Garda.
Jeffrey Linton of the USA is the new 2.4mR Overall World Champion, maintaining his lead from the very first race.
In second place is Britain’s Megan Pascoe, who finished tied on 17 pts with Linton, and in third after an impressive comeback in the final days, was Urs Infanger of Switzerland.
In the NOD Para category, Italy once again shone with Antonio Squizzato taking first place, followed by Chuck Allen USA and another Italian athlete, Davide Di Maria in third.
A single fleet of 56 competitors raced together from start to finish, completing 10 races thanks to the excellent work of the race committee. All categories — Open, NOD, and NOD Para — competed side by side, embodying the true spirit of inclusion that defines this event.
