2021 European WASZP Games – Overall
After five days of intense competition and 14 races completed, WASZP UK Sailor Matt Beck is the WASZP European Champion.
Matt Beck did enough with a 2, 3, 6 on the final day to claim the overall championship and take the crown as the best WASZP sailor in Europe.
As the final day dawned there were six boats in contention to win the title, with points between 1st and 3rd exceptionally tight.
Paul Farien from Germany had the best of the final day with a 1, 2, 3 scoreline, really putting series leaders Matt Beck and Francesco Bertone under immense pressure, and enough to take second overall.
Bertone had an unfortunate penultimate day with a breakage, which put him out of two races.
But he sailed a sensational regatta and was still pushing hard right up to the final race, however had to settle for third overall with a 5, 8, 2 on the final day.
