From June 8 to June 10, 2018 Varna will host the European Cup Laser Class. The organizing authority of the event is the Bulgarian Sailing Federation, the hosts are Varna Municipality and Cherno More Briz Sports Club.
Bulgaria’s candidacy was approved at the end of November 2017 at the annual general meeting of European Association of Laser Class, held in Brussels. The meeting discussed the possibility for Varna to apply for the European Championship in this attractive Olympic class in 2021. It is expected that over 60 boats and participants will be in the free access zone of Varna Port. The Cup is also open to non-European competitors and it is very likely that representatives of exotic destinations will arrive in Varna. Jean Luc Michon, European Laser Class Association EurILCA Chairman, will join the event as a special guest.
