Today, the final series started at the 2024 Open European Championshipin Portorož. Crews in the women's and U17 categories were divided into gold and silver groups, while Men/Mixed into gold, silver and bronze. 

 The morning start didn't work out as planned, as the wind dropped quickly, and we had to wait for the south-westerly breeze. The wait was not long, and we were surprised with 13 knots, and at the start of the second race, it got even stronger, with gusts reaching 23 knots. The sailors have experienced a variety of conditions here in Portorož, with weaker winds in the first days, and stronger winds today and yesterday.
