Nacra 17 Europeans 2015 @Barcelona: Saxton-Groves Champs

by · Published · Updated

Images by Laurens Morel & Laura Carrau – While England suffered the elimination of the Rugby World Cup against Australia while playing at home,  at Barcelona Ben Saxton & Nicola Groves save the day for the British fininshing 5th but just ahead of Aussies Bundock-Curtis to win the Nacra 17 Europeans 2015.
Last Olympic Tornado Champ Fernando Echavarri with Tara Pacheco doing excellent for the short time together and racing the class for a 6th overall.

When you are a top sailor like Fernando & Bundy the Class you sail is just a detail, great to have these two monster sailing along the new kids and having such fierce crews like Tara & Nina. The Nacra 17 must be right now the most demanding and challenging crew position in the Catracing scene.
