2024 Star Class European Championship

Unfortunately the Star European Championship ends in Attersee, Austria, with no race finished by the 60 team-fleet. Two races attempt over four days that had to be abandoned for the wind never collaborated this week among the beautiful Austrian Alps.

A real pity as the Attersee Fleet celebrated its 75th Anniversary this year and with Union Yacht Club Attersee they put up a great show, such warm hospitality and everybody went home happy to have been here, even with no sailing.

Until next time, Atterse.

On day three of the 2024 Star European Championship there is still not one race completed. The unfortunate weather conditions are blocking the wind on lake Attersee from different front and it will be hard to achieve the four races you need to assign the Silver Star and the European title. The Race Committee is far from giving up and tomorrow first start is set at 7 am to try and catch some breeze create by a possible storm passing over Attersee overnight. Let's keep our fingers crossed, the organizers at Union Yacht Club Attersee deserve this as they have put such a great effort in this event, taking well care of everyone ashore.

The Star Europeans have officially opened on Tuesday, June 4th in Attersee, Austria. An idillic location, a pictoresque alpine lage sorrounded by green mountains, yet, after two days there is still no race in the scorecard of the 60 participating teams. Let's hope tomorrow, day three is the good and things can get started in Attersee
