Below is the ranking list for all the 2022 regattas
It seems it was yesterday…Division II regrouped again in Portoroz Slovenia for their annual European championship from September 8th to 12th this summer.
For four days, 19 sailors regrouped sailing 3 races per day except day of long distance, one race only. 7 classic type A D2 (6.5m2, small battens, triangular sails) and 12 type C (9.5m2 full battened sails, lighter boards, longer fins).
Heavy and light weight categories for C.
Sunny, warm (even hot) temperatures predominated during the week, mostly with light to very light winds. A lot of bottles of water generously distributed on racing track by racing committee.
As evidence, “SLOs” did prepare very seriously the Event as they trusted to capture 1st places.
Category C,
Light weights and overall results,
Helena Puh, unique female participant, won all races but one that she abandoned to her father, Dusan Puh (2nd). Father and daughter are both former D2 Champions in Slovenia and were sailing regular D2s.
Miro Skorjanc secured the 3rd place on Lechner A390. Matic Meza, 100board Davidson replica 4th. Matej Pegan, Lechner A390 following just behind.
All SLOs equipped with 9.5m2 Lukka Sails from local sailmaker.
A special note for Kay Burger, GER, who was never distanced with his brand new but old school Mistral M1 equipped by beautiful green colored sail from SLIM Sails GER. Kay finished 6th.
Heavy weights,
Irek Kutyla, POL, got the podium on his 100Boards Lechner replica, rigged with a 9.5 LoftSails, while ranking 5th overall, a remarkable performance given his weight handicap in those light wind conditions.
Nice performance also from Peter Wauter, BEL, who did well with his D2 Raceboard prototype P380 equipped with 2Win Sails 9.5. Peter hit the 2nd place in heavy and 7th overall.
Classic, “Historic” Category A,
7 irreducible sailors still using old school type, but for some brand new, 6.5 m2 sails, fought like hell to get the podium. SLO Vladimir Borsnar (Lechner A390) finally got the Graal just ahead of AUT Joseph Salvenmoser (Mistral M1), both followed by GRE Chris Valvanis (Lechner L3)
Another fantastic week, where friendships on shore and on waters prevailed. Again a demonstration of efficacy and understanding of what D2 racing is from Racing committee.
On behalf of ID2CA, an enormous “Thank You” to Jadralni Klub Pirat for having hosted our Event again.
We’ll come back!
Long Life to Division 2!

Overall 2019 Champion : Stratos EFTHYVOULIDIS GRE-7
The Division II European Championship weekend was organized on the Heegermeer by WaterSportvereniging Heeg, in collaboration with the IWA (International Windsurfing Association) and the Division II Class Association. The Division II windsurf board is a former Olympic class from 1988 and 1992, with which Stephan van den Berg, among others, sailed the Olympic Games. Participants came from all over Europe and beyond, namely Greece, France, Great Britain, Germany, Canada, Poland, Belgium and the Netherlands. The international official and judge of the event, Bruno Marques, appointed by the IWA, came from Brazil.
In addition to a great series of 11 races, the participants are also treated to a fun program with a barbecue and a true eleven-city experience. On Saturday afternoon various participants surfed through Heeg to Watersportcamping Heeg, where after a beach start a competition was sailed over various pools and ditches behind Heeg.
In the end Petros Katsareas from Greece became European Champion in the A-class, the class with the traditional harness from 1988. Fellow Greek Chris Valavanis was second and Kay Buerger from Germany was third.
In the C-class with modern rigging, the Frenchman Alain Cadre has become European Champion. Irek Kutyla from Poland was second and Dutchman Vincent Thoms from Scheveningen finished in a deserving third place.
