in l'Escala from 25th until 31st of March.
Sixty-five boats
of twenty-one different nationalities will participate
in the most significant sports event in Girona's territory.

European Championship, accorded following the international
class rules (ISCYRA), the 4th of March, the Organizing
Committee of the Regatta informs that the total number
of entries received is of 65 sailors.
Among the 21 nacionalities which participate, we emphasize
the 13 boats of the Italian fleet, the 8 from the Netherlands,
5 from Germany and 5 from Switzerland. The number of
italian boats is determined by the importance of this
Chamopionship which is going to classify them for the
