The 29erXX is the ‘sister’ skiff to the 49er, and is a fast-growing class that is on the verge of Olympic recognition. Teams representing five countries tested the waters off Travemünde, Germany from July 27 to 30 in the third edition of the 29erXX European Championship.
The winners and runners-up were awarded Seiko Velatura Chronographs.
SEIKO has been the main sponsor of the International 29erXX Class since 2009. Through this agreement, SEIKO has assisted the growth of the sport and has supported the future development of the 29erXX sailing through the supply of funds and equipment to the new generation of sailors.
In return, SEIKO has gained valuable insights into the needs and wishes of the top athletes in world sailing, and is incorporating this knowledge into each new generation of Velatura, its marine watch collection.
The Velatura Chronograph SNDY66 awarded in Travemünde.
