His Majesty King Juan Carlos I of Spain’s Bribon wins the International Six Metre European Classic Championship, and Eric Monnin’s Duclop claimed the European Open Title.
Both Bribon and Duclop won their final races on the last day of the eight-race series hosted on Lake Geneva.
Bribon’s victory sees the Spanish boat defend the European title for the second consecutive time and marks the fifth time the crew has won the European Championship.
Bribon were the European Champions with 17 points, Erica second on 18.2 points, and Mecara third on 25.7 points.
In the Open Championship it was the Swiss Duclop who led the fleet at the first mark, followed by Jeremy Thorp’s GBR89 Battlecry in second, Basil Vasiliou’s USA105 Jane Ann in third, followed by Eau Vive in fourth.
The Duclop crew – who, last week, won the Swiss Championship – did not put a foot wrong for the rest of the race.
The Swiss team took their third race victory of the series and sealed the 2026 Open European Title. A fourth in today’s race for Eau Vive was enough to secure second overall, with Momo holding on to third overall.
