The European Match Race Tour (EMRT) is the first and only European match race series, featuring some of the best match racing teams in teams in Europe. Each year, a series of events across Europe lead to the Grand Final, where the best team is crowned as the winner of the Tour.
As 2024 will mark the 7th edition of the EMRT, the Tour after a long period of inactivity, due mostly to the pandemic, is restarting and is aiming to promote match racing across Europe. EMRT is entering in a new era for 2024, with new venues, new teams and many more activities, but with the same passion and excitement for match racing. Match Racing is one of the oldest and more exciting disciplines in the sport of sailing. The same discipline of sailing used by the sport’s oldest sporting trophy since 1851, the America’s Cup. It is one of the easiest types of sailing to understand with just two boats around a race course in a winner-take-all duel of tactics, strategy and teamwork. Teams compete in different boats at each stage of the European Match Race Tour, however the boats supplied at each event are identical. To keep the competition 100% fair and equal, teams rotate boats during the event. |
