J/70 Corinthian European Championship in Cascais, Portugal - Overall

by Julie & Christopher Howell 7 Apr 02:51 AEST 1-6 April 2025

The first-ever J/70 Corinthian European Championship ended with a fully Spanish podium after eight races at Clube Naval de Cascais Portugal.

Besting the 54-boat fleet was Javier Padron's HSN SAILING TEAM with Adolfo Lopez Quevedo, Luis Bugallo Arriola and Ricardo Terrades Espinosa. Although they did not win a race, they placed second four times, including both races on Sunday. Their discard was a 13, proving consistency was key in the myriad of conditions, ending with 26 net points.

Món Canellas Salas's HANG TEN secured the silver position with 50 net points. Alejandro Perez Garcia-Duran's BODEGA CAN MARLES took third at 64. Completing the top five overall were Ignacio Perez Morett's ZAGUERO of Mexico and Renato Cunha Faria's TÔ NESSA of Brazil.

The best young crew was Mats Schonebeck's PAINT IT BLACK of Germany, also 13th overall. Nevra Eker's EKER EFSANE YOGURT of Turkey led the Mixed-Plus division. Luca Kis-Szolgyemi's LUJZI of Hungary earned top female helm.

Sunday's conditions again kept teams on their toes, being sent ashore during a squall, but returning to the racecourse for the final two races in winds of 14-18 knots. The day's winners were Doug Rastello's GOOD TO GO of the USA and native Diogo Pereira's NAVIS PORTUGAL.

Seventeen nations competed from April 3-6: AUS, BRA, CHN, ESP, EST, FIN, FRA, GBR, GER, HUN, ITA, MEX, NED, POR, SWE, TUR, USA. Photos may be found on the International J/70 Facebook and Instagram pages. Complete results are available here.

Clube Naval de Cascais will host the 2026 J/70 World Championship August 28-September 5.
