The European championships will be held within Cork week in July ’26 and on Lake Garda in July ’27. Carefully planned around this, the 2026 and 2027 programmes of both a local Cowes National Series and a higher-profile Cowes International Series, will build on the great success of the 2025 season where a youth team delivered top results in the ‘Champions of Champions’ series results.

 

At both Europeans, competitors will have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the race areas and conditions during practice races and pre-event training days. This can be significant for teams to fine-tune their strategies and optimise their performance for the competitions.

 

Don’t miss the opportunity to witness top-tier sailing action and experience the thrill of the Etchells European Championships. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a passionate spectator, plan to join us in Cork and Lake Garda for an unforgettable celebration of sailing excellence.
