The ILCA Mediterranean Championship held at Hyères 28 February to 1st March was a qualifier regatta for the French Youth Championships. On this famously technically demanding venue, the Monegasque sailors did well in all categories. In this qualifier regatta, the Monegasque Laser sailors finished at the top of the rankings confirming the momentum behind this group.
In a 64-strong fleet of contestants, Giorgos Papavasileiou delivered one of the strongest performances of the weekend to clinch 4th overall, 1st in the boys, with three race wins. Aggressive sailing, controlled starts and a keen ability to read the water transformed the trip into a big success. Mark Slotboom finished 6th, confirming this pair’s strong showing at the front. Gabriel Lanteri Gaglio (24th), Antoine Sauval (26th) and Ennio Rostagni (48th) continue to learn and gain valuable experience in this competitive category.
Out of a 56-strong fleet of contestants, Louise Debeaumont came 24th overall and 7th girl. A good performance in a category that is particularly competitive for the women. Roman Lampert finished 32nd, having made impressive gains at the end of the regatta.
In the ILCA 7 category (23 contestants), Gabriel Superina clinched 15th place, after some focused sailing allowed him to position himself in the middle of the fleet.
