2025 Optimist African Championship A beautiful sailing venue with good conditions. The full schedule was realised. A standout feature was that 9 hearing requests were lodged after racing on the last day (one hour before scheduled prizegiving), including two involving RRS 69, and two that directly affected the overall podiums, so there was pressure on the jury to perform before prizegiving. The team worked well together, and priori

Garda Trentino Olympic Week
Some race management scheduling decisions appeared illogical to sailors and jury members. For several races finish lines were far too short; in one instance the timing of the race and the position of the finish line meant the race finished in a windless area.

The PRO either didn't, or chose not to, speak English to a sufficiently high standard.

The jury found this was in violation of class rules after getting evidence from the class measurer. A discretionary penalty applied, but the guided penalty system from IODA called for a DSQ in this case.
