Germany's Tim Fischer and Fabian Graf and compatriots Tina Lutz and Susann Beucke were the respective winners of the European 49er and 49erFX Championships in Austria.

Fischer and Graf started the final day of 49er competition on Lake Attersee well, finishing third and second.

Their form slipped in the remaining two races, however, but their 13th and 11th place finishes were enough to give them a winning net total 60.0 points. 

Home favourites Benjamin Bildstein and David Hussl claimed the silver medal after coming seventh, third, fifth and 10th to record 63.0.

In third were Croatian brothers Šime and Mihovil Fantela.

The 2018 world champions were disqualified from the opening race, with placings of ninth, third and fourth and a net total of 71.0 not enough for them to climb the standings. 

Lutz and Beucke then continued the German gold rush in the 49erFX, achieving two second place finishes and 12th and 11th to triumph on 38.0.

Sweden's Julia Gross and Hanna Klinga were third on 52.0, having finished fifth, 11th, fourth and first. 

Ruggero Tita and Caterina Banti of Italy broke the dominance of Germany, topping the Nacra 17 podium with a net total of 55.0 after coming sixth, fifth, first and fourth. 

French pair Quentin Delapierre and Manon Audinet were second following fifth, fourth, second and sixth place finishes, resulting in 59.0.

Completing the podium was another Italian duo, Vittorio Bissaro and Maelle Frascari.

They came fourth twice, first and seventh to finish on 62.0.
