Championship has found a host
Well, finally, they waited for good news. The European Championship in the Optimist class will nevertheless take place – in Portoroz (Slovenia)!
Recall that initially the European championship was to be held in Estonia, but in early May, the organizers of the regatta announced that they could not fulfill their obligations because of the pandemic. At the same time, the International Optimist Dinghy Association began the search for those who, despite all the problems, are ready to hold the championship.
And now officially announced: the tournament will be held in Portoroz (Slovenia) from October 18 to 26. And this, of course, is great news. We will rejoice for young yachtsmen!
And at the same time, we note that it was the Optimists that were among the first in Europe to enter the water after the quarantine was lifted. It happened in the small Polish city of Mechelinki: and about a hundred boats got off to the start!
