(Glucksburg, Germany)- The Flensburg Sailing Club in Glucksburg, Germany
is hosting the 2018 J/24 European Championship on the famous fjord off
the southwestern parts of the Baltic Sea in northern Europe. There are twenty-five teams competing from five nations (Great Britain, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Sweden) with the large contingent of very competitive Italian and Monagesque J/24 teams noticeably absent- as the J/24 Worlds are concentrated on Lago di Garda, Italy in a few weeks time.
