The sixth and last day of the 470 - 2021 European Championship concluded in Vilamoura, with the Medal Race.

Winds were again light, and delivered three fantastic Medal Races, with plenty of action.

Only the top 10 crews from each fleet sailed the Medal Race, the best 60 sailors were out in Vilamoura waters, fighting for the podium positions.

Non-stop action all along the day, with the Men's fleet having "drama" up to last minute.

No races were missed, despite the mostly light wind conditions and a lot of fun and great spirit among everyone.
