GKSS is delighted to host the 29er EuroCup as part of our annual largest fleet-race regatta, with a total of 159 participants within the classes, 29er, 49erFX, IQ Foil U19, ILCA 4, 6 and 7 and Europe class.

25 crews from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland will participate in the sixth 29er EuroCup in the 2024 series. Spring finally came to Gothenburg and many of the crews have enjoyed the fine conditions for an informal pre-regatta tune-up, and for the weekend the weather looks to be around 15 degrees accompanies by weaker winds.
