2025 Melges 24 European Sailing Series - Light Winds Limit Day 2 of Melges 24 Racing in Trogir to One Race

The second day of racing at the 22025 Melges 24 European Sailing Series in Trogir — also the final and decisive act of the 2025 Luki Baustoffe CRO Melges 24 Cup — turned into a waiting game as the fleet faced calm conditions for most of the day. After a lengthy delay, the race committee managed to squeeze in one light-air race starting just after 4:00 PM, challenging both crews and tacticians alike.

 It was Razjaren, helmed by Ante Ćesić, who mastered the tricky breeze to claim the day’s only victory. He was followed by One 4 Fun, skippered by Karlo Kuret, in second place, and Strambapapa, with Michele Paoletti at the helm, finishing third.

 With four races completed over the first two days, Razjaren now leads the overall standings by four points ahead of Nefeli, helmed by Peter Karrié. Luka Šangulin’s Panjic holds third overall with 11 points, maintaining pressure on the top spots heading into the final day.

 Daily Boat of the Day awards once again celebrated outstanding performances across key divisions. Matija Reljanović’s Cro-a-Sail was named best U24 boat of the day. The Česić family celebrated a special double: Razjaren earned the Overall Boat of the Day, while Little A, helmed by Stjepan Ćesić, was the top Corinthian performer.

 Racing is set to conclude on Sunday, the final day of the event, when the fleet will contest the last races to determine the 2025 Croatian National Champion, the winner of the Luki Baustoffe CRO Melges 24 Cup, and secure valuable points for the Melges 24 European Sailing Series standings.
