ALL EVENT INFORMATION

Hosted at Club Nautico Pescare, on Italy's Adriatic coastline, from 30 October-1 November, thirty 420 teams contested 8 races.

A challenging opening day saw the Mistral breeze kick in, to challenge teams with a 16 knot breeze and significant waves, with 2 races completed. All change for the next two days with 9-11 knots of breeze, under a sunny sky.

After an opening day scoreline of 9,4, the bronze medallists at the 2015 420 Ladies Junior European Championship, Demi Rio/Maria Coluzzi, soon found their groove and knocked out an awesome scoreline of 6 back to back race wins. The pair secured victory by a 10 point margin over Carlotta Omari/Matilda Distefano in second, with Lisa Sartori/Sofia Chincarini in third.
