The Longtze Regatta and D-One Europeans have started a packed September at Fraglia Vela Riva.
The exclusive four-man crew Longtze, which races in Montecarlo and France and is fond of the waters of Lake Garda, completed 8 races with a hard fought battle in the eighth and final race. Victory went to the Swiss crew helmed by Jarmo Wieland.
At the same time the D-One European Championship was held, the single-hander invented by Finn Olympic silver medallist Luca Devoti. This dinghy is especially popular among ex Finn and Laser sailors who enjoy the challenge of racing this high performing craft.
The European title was won easily by Nick Craig of Great Britain after 6 races. Viktor Teply came second 6 points behind. Mario Rabbò of Liguria taking bronze. Six nations took part altogether.
