Portugal’s Alfonso Munhá and Francisco Camacho win European Youth Championships

Mª Alejandra Correa and Irene Pérez-Fontán, from the CN Mahón, win the title in the Madrid waters of San JuanThe European title was left blank as it was not possible to close three races, as established in the rules, as only two of the three days could be completed

San Martín de Valdeiglesias, 14th April 2025The European Youth Snipe Championship, held in the town of San Martín de Valdeiglesias since last Saturday, has come to an end in the Madrid reservoir of San Juan. It does so without being able to award the title of European champion because the wind conditions have played against the organising committee and the sailors.On this third day, with an early start time of two and a half hours, it was possible to sail, although only two races were completed and three were needed to win the European title. With these two races, the regatta is valid to establish the champions, both in the overall and women’s categories.In this sense, the title awarded by the Real Club Náutico de Madrid has gone to the Portuguese crew of Afonso Munhá and Francisco Camacho (C.V. Do Barreiro) after signing 4-1 partials. The second place went to Javier Villanueva and Javier Rasilla (RCN Vigo), closing their participation with 5-2, while the bronze went to the tandem Mauro González – Regueral and Juan García -Tizon (RCN Coruña), after finishing 3rd and 5th in the two closed races.In the women’s category, the title went to Roser Gregorio and Blanca Sintes (CM Mahón) with a score of 18-6, scoring 24 points and finishing in 11th place overall.The trophy ceremony, held at the RCN of Madrid, was attended by Martín Bermúdez, SCIRA Commodore; Manuel Stchini Vilela, SCIRA Europe Secretary; Guillermo Poyán, President of the Madrid Sailing Federation; Arturo Delgado, former SCIRA Commodore; Tobi Carrasco, President of the RCN of Madrid, accompanied by David Peralta, Commodore.
