Estonian sailors 'Sugar' and 'Lumi' take second and third at European Championships

Estonian sailors are making a strong showing at the ORC European Championships in Klaipėda, Lithuania, with two teams securing medal positions in Class C after a demanding offshore race and two coastal races. Henri Roihu's team, sailing 'Sugar', has climbed to second place overall in the competitive Class C standings. Hot on their heels is Mart Eensalu's crew aboard 'Lumi', which has secured the third spot.

The championship has tested the sailors with a long offshore race followed by two shorter, more intense coastal races held on Wednesday. This combination of endurance and tactical racing provides a comprehensive challenge for the crews. The Estonian teams have demonstrated resilience and skill in navigating these varied conditions.

In the A/B group, Mati Sepp's 'Clean Energy' is also performing well, currently holding fourth place after completing three races. The competition remains tight, with the final races expected to determine the ultimate European champions. The success of these Estonian teams highlights the growing strength of sailing in the country.
