NORTH-POWERED TEAMS DOMINATE 470 EUROPEANS
Six Teams On The Podium, One Sailmaker
Teams from Slovenia and Sweden secured the 470 European gold medals in Bougas, Bulgaria this past week. In the Men’s division, Anton Dahlberg and Fredrik Bergstrom dominated the event only having to complete the medal race to guarantee the gold medal. In the women’s division, Slovenia’s Tina Mrak and Veronika Macarol prevailed over the German team, Loew and Markfort.
“We are very proud of our teams and their performances. The 470 being a Olympic class, is one of the most competitive one-design racing classes in the world. Getting our designs tested by all six teams on the podium (Open Europeans) is a true testimonial of our efforts to make the best and fastest one-design sails.” said Kei Takakuwa from North Sails Japan.
