Five years ago Ivan Kljakovic Gaspic (CRO) won the 2010 European Championship after a thrilling medal race finale in the waters off Split. His nemesis that year, Ed Wright (GBR) is also back looking for revenge. Kljakovic Gaspic revealed he is very excited to return to Split as he hasn't sailed there much recently.

He said, “It is very exciting for me to race in my home town and I am really looking forward to it. I have not sailed much there in the last two years so it will be good to be back there.” He travelled there straight after the ISAF Sailing World Cup Hyeres to begin his preparations.

“Split is going to be great host as always and I am looking forward for great sailing out there.”
