European Championship 2026 at Real Club Nautico de Barcelona - Day 3

European Championship 2026 at Real Club Náutico de Barcelona’s Day 3 tightened the race for the continental title around consistency. After races five and six, and once the discard was applied, the Spanish team of Guillén / Castellví / Cañellas (ESP 1706) on Hang Ten moved into first with 11 points. A lighter east-southeasterly breeze forced the Race Committee to manage timing before completing two races. Haroldo Solberg (BRA 641) on OceanPact won race five, while Monaco’s GSpot finished third; Sirena Chico, from Denmark, took the win in race six, with Hang Ten second again and American Rowdy third. The discard replaced Hang Ten’s 45th-place opening result, while the previous leader, Ricardo Terrades’ HSN Sailing Team (46th discarded), fell to second with 34 points. American skipper John Heaton’s Empeiria, in the Corinthian Division, sits on 45 points as the provisional podium. The event is listed at www.j70eurobarcelona2026.com.
