ORC European Championship 2024 results

We at Superyellow feel privileged to have been an Official Partner of the ORC European Championship 2024 in Mariehamn, Åland, 9.-17.8.

Sail racing event was very international with total 56 boats in three classes, sailors coming from more than 15 different countries.

Regatta was sailed in varying conditions, lot’s of wind, not so much wind, flat seas, stormy seas and rain but mostly sunshine and perfect sailing conditions to test the teams who fought for the Championship title.

Sailors were also lucky to see spectacular northern lights (Aurora Borealis) during the first night of the long offshore race. Must have been spectacular to see this rare nature phenomenon sailing downwind with some boats topping speeds of 20+ knots.

The New European Champions are
🥇Class A – BEAU GESTE – TP 52 – Karl Kwok (HKG)🇭🇰
🥇Class B – OLYMPIC – X-41 mod – Tiit Vihul (EST) 🇪🇪
🥇Class C – SUGAR – Italia 9.98 – Sandro Montefusco (EST) 🇪🇪

We were happy to award our KJEMPE merino wool beanies for the Winners of the Short Offshore Race powered by Superyellow 🙌

Class A- BEAU GESTE TP 52 -Karl Kwok (HKG) 🇭🇰
Class B- RHINO Italia 11.98 -Saulius Pajarskas (LTU) 🇱🇹
Class C -TEAM PRO4U mod.First 36.7 -Patrik Forsgren (SWE) 🇸🇪

Also the best Corinthian (all amateur) teams and best Female teams became happy owners of SAILOR Merino wool beanies.

KJEMPE beanie is our top choice for competitive sailors. 100% merino wool beanie is warm also when whet and snug fit beanie stays put when hood comes on and off. SAILOR beanie (as the name says) is designed by sailors in mind and is inspired by legendary oceanographer and explorer Jacques Cousteau, is also all-round choice for chilly days and nights at sea. We made our SAILOR beanie a bit taller to cover your ears when needed, if shorter fit is what you are looking for, check the FISHERMAN beanie.

For sailors by sailors ❤️

Thank you sailors and organizers for a great regatta and once again, congratulations to all winners!
