Lake Lipno in the Czech Republic provided an unforgettable week of Olympic sailing as the best young sailors from across Europe gathered to compete for medals at the Junior European Championships. A wide variety of wind conditions and sunny weather ensured exciting racing and great experiences on and off the water. The 2024 European Junior Championships in the 49er and 49erFX classes, together with the Eurocup event in the 29er class, brought an exciting 4 days of intense racing to the Lake Lipno for over 140 competitors from 18 nations. The event was held under the auspices of the President of the Czech Republic Mr. Petr Pavel. On Thursday, despite a favourable forecast, there was only one race in the 49er and 49erFX classes as a storm thwarted the plans of the race committee. However, the opening ceremony on the iconic Windy Point beach brought smiles to the faces of the competitors. https://49er.org/exciting-junior-european-championships-2024-in-olympic-49er-and-49erfx-classes/

Craziest experience of my life, says Runa Aasheim. Being face to face with orcas was more powerful than I ever imagined. Runa joined us for a week on board Valiente, freediving with orcas and whales. It was a good week, with saling, northern lights and freediving.

A common expression heard among sailors in Colorado: "If you can sail here, you can sail anywhere!" I'd say it's primarily due to the quick-changing mountain weather and heavy winds that come up without warning. But the constantly swirling winds, steep mountain terrain, cold water, limited facilities, and lack of depth charts and hazard markings also make it a challenging place to sail. Several notable sailors hail from Colorado including world champion sailor Cameron Holland, Olympic competitors Chris Steinfeld, Erika Reineke, Sarah Ragle and Jack & Marcia Mathias and three-time America's Cup winner Josh Belsky (born in Rye, NY but relocated to Aspen, CO in 2008). Colorado is also home to the world's highest regatta, the Dillon Open Regatta held every August. Music: "Broken Bones" by Love Inc.
