The red-white-red sailing boats have confidently qualified for the gold fleet in their classes at the international title fights off the coast of southern France.

The 49er team Benjamin Bildstein/David Hussl finished the qualification at the European Championships off La Grande-Motte in fifth place and are in twelfth place in the intermediate ranking. Keanu Prettner and Jakob Flachberger are in 21st position. Two Nacra 17 teams are also in the gold fleet at their world championship.

Laura Farese and Matthäus Zöchling are currently in the top 15, while Lukas Haberl and Tanja Frank improved to 20th thanks to a third place. No races were held in the 470 European Championship off Cannes due to the weak wind.
