Taking place in Arcos, Spain this October. These championships have gathered the best European skippers  and their boat to decide on the best European IOM sailor.
Not too much of a surprise to say that Graham won the title with his new Topiko. The Topiko seems to be an evolution of the Italico.

2 English, 2 Italian, 1 German, 1 Norwegian, 1 Australian, 2 Spanish and one Croatian in the top 10 is a very good range of nationalities. 7 out of 13 countries participating have sailors in the top 10. Showing that there is not one country clearly better than others but good sailors across Europe. This Table also shows that neither there is one design better than others. So it seems to me that once you have a decent boat, it is the skipper that make the difference.
