Jérémy Moutout made it into the gold group at the ILCA 7 European Championship. Competing at JK Marina Kastela in Croatia, the Yacht Club de Monaco sailor finished 48th out of a fleet of 173 contestants after eight races. A solid performance that put him into the European gold group and confirms his progress at this high level.
The European Championship attracted a particularly strong fleet with several world-renowned ILCA sailors attending. In moderate 15-knot conditions, Jérémy quickly demonstrated that he’d made significant progress. Having got his championship off to a great start, he stayed in contact with the leading groups from the first day before making it into the gold group reserved for the 58 best competitors.
One of the strong points of this week was his impressive speed on the water. The Monegasque confirmed his ability to keep up the pace against a particularly strong European field. In a class as competitive as it is in ILCA 7, being able to stay in contact in the fast phases is already an indicator of concrete progress towards staying in contention.
The overall assessment remains positive but the work continues. If his best races show real potential, the goal now is to achieve greater consistency over a long run of races. At this level, consistency is essential to stay in the top rankings.
With this 48th European place, Jérémy Moutout joins the gold group, a very encouraging step up at this stage in the season. The next big event in four weeks is the Kiel World Cup, another major test on the international calendar. After that the Yacht Club de Monaco sailor continues his preparations for the Mediterranean Games, with the objective being to continue closing the gap with the top ILCA 7 European sailors.
