## Summary

Anne-Marie Rindom of Denmark was the reigning world champion, having won the 2022 ILCA 6 World Championships in Kemah, Texas. The entry list also included Dutch sailor, three-time Olympic medallist, and reigning European champion Marit Bouwmeester. Bouwmeester had also won the Paris 2024 Test Event the month before.
