The ILCA U21 World Championship has come to a thrilling conclusion, marking the end of an intense week of competitive sailing in Viana do Castelo, Portugal.
To wrap up the event, sailors were faced with a breeze from 330º at 6 – 8 knots. These good conditions set the stage for an incredible finish.
