The wind just wouldn't play for the 274 sailors gathered to contest the 420 fleet at 2016 Imperia Winter Regatta, Italy from 8-11 December.

ALL EVENT INFORMATION

No racing was possible for the 89 strong 420 men's fleet, with the ladies just getting one race completed. Frustration for all, but through no lack of trying by the Race Committee. Light, unstable breeze simply made any hope of racing impossible.

The one race win went to Veronica Ferraro/Iulia Ierardi, second to Elisabetta Fedele/Beatrice Martini and third to Germany's Sophie Steinlein/Lena Klockner. Ferraro/Ierardi are this year's 2016 420 Ladies Junior European Champions.

Teams from Austria, France, Germany, Poland, Spain and Switzerland joined host nation Italy.
