Opening Ceremony
The BMW J/24 European Championships were officially opened on Saturday evening (Sept.10th) with a ceremony on the forecourt in front of the clubhouse on the podium erected by the sponsor. It featured two top-of-the range BMW vehicles and a motorcycle and a backdrop with the highly appropriate phrase of 'Joy is Plain Sailing' in front of the national flags of the nine competing nations.
