RS:X windsurfer Imogen Sills was crowned European Champion on Friday after a windless final day of the 2013 EUROSAF Youth Sailing European Championships in Tavira, Portugal (9 August).

The RYA RS:X UK Youth Squad sailor emulated the success of her twin sister Saskia Sills at the 2012 event in Aarhus, Denmark last year by dominating proceedings from start to finish.

The 17-year-old from Launceston opened her European account with a bang, taking nothing but races wins from the first two days of competition to cement her position at the top of the leaderboard from the outset.
