After a time away from civilization taking eDNA samples in arctic waters, we take part in the Topper World Championship 2024.
These kinds of events prove that peace between different countries is possible. Young people from all continents share the idea of global citizenship and form friendships across borders.
Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to cover the great distance under sail to Spain. Alegra, Noé and Andri were invited to Los Alcazares on the Mar Menor in Spain and were proud to represent Switzerland at this year’s Topper World Championship 2024.
The air temperature was very different to the Arctic. Our sailors are used to stormier conditions and so they had to do their best to adapt to these different conditions.
Hard work, tough competition and with many wonderful experiences!
The World Champion of the 5.3 fleet is Che Liu from China, followed by Spain! The World Champion of the 4.2 fleet was Hari Clark from Great Britain. Congratulations! A big thank you to the organizers.
Maria was our angel, she organised the event on site and had so much to do, and was always so friendly and a huge help! A big thank you!
Alegra, Noé, Andri and all of us had a great competition. Many thanks.
