YCM sailors in contention in an edition without a final
- 2 November 2025
The 2025 Italian Olympic Class Championship concluded in Palermo on a windless day, forcing the Race Committee to cancel the last races. It was a frustrating end for the sailors as in some classes the gaps were minimal after three days of racing in a light unstable wind.
Despite a lack of action on the water, the international scale of the event will be remembered: 399 sailors from 20 nations, including Olympic medallists and several World Champions, gathered in Sicily for the Italian Sailing Federation calendar’s most prestigious event.
Highlights in this article: – YCM sailors results.
– How every start counted towards the final ranking with so few races completed.
– In these conditions, the two YCM sailors achieved solid results.
Jérémy Moutout in ILCA 7 finished 10th out of 66
A top ten place underlines this young man’s ability to keep his head and remain consistent in a packed fleet, constantly under pressure with unstable winds and long waits in between races. As there was no last day that could have reshuffled the rankings in this group, his 10th place was just reward for a string of clean races and well-managed starts.
Louise Debeaumont makes it 36th out of 45 in ILCA 6
Here too, only five races were completed, with no Medal Race, in what was a short but challenging regatta, where even the smallest error could make a big difference.
A high level edition without a final
While the Palermo venue served up three interesting days, weather conditions blocked any chance of a thermal wind getting established on the last day. Ashore, the N over A flags officially announced the end of the championship in the early afternoon.
