2025 EURILCA TEAM RACING EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP

TEAM RACING: WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT

Where teamwork meets tactics: ILCA racing like you’ve never seen it before

The 2025 ILCA European Team Racing Championship will bring together national teams from across Europe in one of the most tactical and exciting formats of dinghy sailing. Unlike traditional fleet racing, where every sailor competes individually, team racing is all about cooperation. Teams are made up of two boys and two girls, each sailing an ILCA 4, and they face off in thrilling 4 vs 4 battles. The winner is decided by the combined finishing positions of all team members.

The racing takes place on short, fast courses, encouraging close-quarters tactics, quick maneuvers, and bold decision-making. Sailors don’t just aim to win their own race — they work together to cover opponents, create opportunities for teammates, and control the scoreboard. The result is dynamic, high-intensity racing that highlights both individual skill and strategic teamwork, while showcasing the best young ILCA sailors in Europe.
