2025 49er, 49erFX and Nacra 17 European Championships - Day 4 Highlights

🇩🇪 Germany’s Bergmann & Wille Take the Lead in 49erFX! Olympic veterans Marla Bergmann and Hanna Wille (GER) showed composure and speed on Day 4 of the European Championship, scoring the fewest points and rising to the top of the 49erFX leaderboard. With three clean starts and smooth sailing, they’ve put themselves in prime position heading into the final days. “We've been at the top of the fleet before,” said Wille. “A fourth at Europeans and sixth at the Games makes us feel like veterans now.” 🇵🇱 Close behind are Aleksandra Melzacka and Sandra Jankowiak (POL), with the Lewin Lafrance sisters (CAN) rounding out the top 3—setting up a thrilling showdown! 🇬🇧 Nacra 17: Gimson & Burnet Dominate Again John Gimson and Anna Burnet (GBR) are on fire in the Nacra 17, with six top-two finishes in a row and a 21-point lead. The Tokyo silver medalists and 2023 European champs are looking unstoppable as they chase another title. “We were able to sail textbook lanes,” said Gimson, explaining their control in the light sea breezes. 🇮🇹 Ugolini & Giubilei (ITA) and 🇦🇷 Majdalani & Bosco (ARG) are holding second and third, but it’s a tall task to reel in the leaders. 🌊 49er Drama: Recalls, DSQs, and Big Moves Day 4 brought chaos to the 49er fleet with 13 boats disqualified in just one race after multiple general recalls. Amid the madness, 🇳🇿 Menzies & Lee Rush stayed clean and extended their lead. 🇺🇾 Umpierre & Diz bounced back from a DSQ to win the next race, and 🇬🇧 Pank & Grit, sailing far from national squads, moved up to third overall. 📅 Racing continues through June 8, 2025! 💻 Follow all the action on the regatta website for results, photos, videos, and more. 📺 We’ve got lightweight daily live coverage—subscribe and hit the bell to stay updated from the venue! #49erFX #Nacra17 #49erSailing #SailingEuropeans #OlympicSailing #RoadToParis #SkiffLife #EuropeanChampionship2025
