What a spectacular week it was at the 2025 Copa del Rey MAPFRE<\/strong>\u2014one of the most competitive regattas on the calendar\u2014and a true highlight came from TECHNONICOL, skippered by Estonia\u2019s Mati Sepp, who claimed the ORC B European Championship title after an intense head-to-head contest that went right to the final race.

A Tactical Duel in ORC B<\/h3>\n

Racing in the ORC B class<\/strong>, TECHNONICOL<\/strong> (X-41 mod<\/em>) was tested by a highly competitive fleet throughout the week. The leaderboard saw frequent changes as several top teams pushed hard across a tight and tactical series. Heading into the final day, the margin at the top was razor-thin, and every maneuver counted. In a high-pressure final showdown, TECHNONICOL kept their composure and sailed a smart, consistent race\u2014securing the European Championship title<\/strong> with a decisive points lead.<\/p>\n

Powered by a full 4T FORTE<\/a> OneSails Inventory<\/h3>\n

The team\u2019s victory was underpinned by a brand-new OneSails sail inventory, blending raw speed, easy handling, and next-generation sailmaking technology. Made using 4T FORTE\u2122 composite membranes<\/strong>, the sails are not only high-performance but also fully recyclable, offering a unique combination of sustainability, durability, and shape retention across a wide range of conditions.<\/p>\n

Their campaign was marked by smart tactics, stable maneuvers, and consistently easy sail trim<\/strong> that allowed the team to stay fast and focused.<\/p>\n

    \u201cIt feels great\u2014it\u2019s amazing,\u201d said Sepp. \u201cCopa del Rey is everything: incredible weather, top-level organization, press attention, and tough competition. It was one of the hardest events I\u2019ve ever done. Most of our crew are passionate amateurs, and I\u2019m incredibly proud of how they performed.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
