Europe
The Europe is a single-handed racing dinghy sailed throughout the world. A popular class for both men and women, the Europe dinghy was introduced as the Womens single-handed Dinghy Class for the 1992 Olympic Games.
Ideally, Europe sailors fall into the weight range of 55-80kgs, and the mast is set to suit the weight range. At the elite level, women usually fall into the 63-73kg range, with men between 70-80kgs.
The Europe dinghy evolved from the Europe moth and uses carbon fibre technology for the mast. The dinghy itself only weighs 45kgs
