There were only 45 505s on the start, this was not so much boats as expected. We had one week wonderfull sailing by 24 degrees water and 35 degrees air temperature. On the first day we had one race with 10 growing up to 20 knots wind. Krister Bergstroms forestay wire was broken in this race when he was in the lead after the first lap, so he had to retire. On the following two days we had three nice races with about 15 knots wind. After the layday we had two very hard races with maximum wind under the cliff over 35-40 knots. On the last day it was very windy again. Krister sailed very good with the places DNF 5 1 1 1 1 1 DNF. Goerges had a safe second place. The following boats were very closed. We had races only in the afternoon, and so we had big parties every night. Now I terrorize You not longer with my bad english. Detailed report will come from Ian Pinnell. But everybody who wasn`t at the europeans missed the best event of the year. See You, Wolfgang Stueckl GER 8633
