Eurocup 8 – Day 3 Recap: Stronger breeze and tactical racing in Kiel

Stronger breeze and tactical racing defined Day 3 of the 29er competition at Kiel Week, with two additional races completed in fresh conditions on the Kiel Fjord. The fleet has now completed eight races in total.

After six races were completed by Day 2, the 29er fleet was officially split into Gold and Silver groups for the final series. With stronger winds returning today, teams in both fleets faced challenging conditions and tight competition, especially among the front-runners.

As the final boats crossed the line this afternoon, the breeze began to ease and cloud cover moved in, setting a dramatic close to a pivotal day of racing.

With the European Championship now just one week away, Kiel Week continues to provide a high-level tune-up opportunity for many of the continent’s top teams.
