Day two brought another solid day of racing at the 2026 IFCA Fin Slalom European Championships, with both fleets adding valuable races to their scorecards.
After a smooth start to the morning, the offshore breeze took some time to settle before the wind filled in around midday. Once the conditions arrived, the racing was back on, with the Men completing two more eliminations and the Women adding five races to bring their total to nine.
The Women’s fleet continued to deliver close racing at the front. Jenna Gibson GBR-96 remains firmly at the top of the leaderboard, while Femke vd Veen NED-2251 moved up into third, with the battle for the podium already starting to take shape.
In the Men’s fleet, the leaderboard saw a major shake-up. Nicolas Prien GER-7 put together a strong performance and moved into the overall lead, pushing Brendan Lorho FRA-113 into second. Sacha Fortune FRA-655 climbed into third, while Taty Frans NB-9 and Anton Richter GER-6 complete the current Top 5.
Just as the afternoon racing was getting into full swing, the weather had the final word.
The wind delivered the racing, but heavy rain eventually called time on the day.
Two days down, plenty more racing to come and the European title battle is heating up.
