After the successful first edition of the EUROSAF 69F European Championship in 2023, the European Sailing Federation (EUROSAF) and the 69F Class have decided to continue and expand the continental championships.
In 2024, two events will take place on Lake Garda:
- EUROSAF 69F Youth European Championship: 15-21 July 2024
- EUROSAF 69F Open European Championship: 17-22 September 2024
69F is the only one-design, full foiling monohull for crews, it is foiling for everyone. Since the boat does not require particular strength, women's and men's teams have equal chances. The idea of the Class is to have moving fleets owned by the managing company, for a sustainable and lasting concept and to be able to reach good racing fleet number early in the boat life.
The Youth Europeans will be the last event of the 69F Youth Foiling Gold Cup in Acquafresca, and the Open Europeans will be during the last Grand Prix of the 69F Cup in Malcesine, both Italy.
