F18 Europeans 2016 @Brest: July 5-13th
Photo: Alemany.fr , French Nats 2016 — Every year the Class goes outside Europe for the Worlds, (this year will be October 28 in Buenos Aires) an European F18 Championship is organized. The same happens in the A-Class, as Bordeaux Euros held between NZ Worlds in 2014 and Punta Ala in September 2015.
On July 5 the F18 Class is organizing the 2016 European crown at USAM Voile at Brest, France. Current Arg champs, Cruz Smith and Mariano Heuser will be attending in preparation for the Worlds at home in October. The local Arg fleet is training hard towards for Title to stay home, but having Iker and Fer already confirmed is going to be a major challenge to overcome. Nevertheless is not going to be a walk in the park, and curent 2x World Champion Gunnar Larsen experienced first hand in 2011 when he came for some clinics and to race our Nats.
