TONCI STIPANOVIC AND TUDOR BILIC (CRO) ARE THE 2022 STAR EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS

Two bullets on the very last day of the 2022 Star European Championship delivered the continental title unquestionably to Tonci Stipanovic and Tudor Bilic. It was a hard fought battle for the Croatian team who right after they christened their new Star boat here in Copenhagen, had a very bad day to start the Championship. A little disheartened, they began the climb to the top on day 2, when they finished first and third, to finalize the work today with two wins to undoubtedly earn the right to engrave their name on the 40-year-old Star European Championship Trophy.

The day started out gloomy and grey, with cold wind blowing over 10 knots due to increase up to 15/18. You could feel the energy building up on the docks: a mix of excitement and terror for the 51-boat fleet which is very heterogeneous in age and experience, made of sailors from in their twenties to ones in their seventies and eighties, of big Star Class veteran and newcomers, of Olympic medalist wanting to prove their selves and a petite lady.

GREAT CONDITIONS WELCOME THE 51-BOAT FLEET IN COPENHAGEN, DENMARK

The 2022 Star Europeans started today hosted by the Royal Danish Yacht Club
 

Strong breeze, sun and a very eager fleet are the ingredients that made Day One of the 2022 Star Europeans a memorable one. The wind was coming from West/North-West at 10 to 15 knots with gusts of 18, making it challenging yet compelling, for the 53-boat fleet to manage their way on the course on both races.
