- The Laser European Championships, my final event for the first overseas trip of 2014 has just wrapped up here in Croatia. After a week of very tough weather conditions to get many races completed, the regatta was finished with only six out of the scheduled twelve races being sailed. I can’t remember the last major event I did where we had so few races, but it really makes you realize that anything can happen in sailing and you have to be on top of your game from race one in the Championships.
