24. 09. - 02. 10. 2010. - Pierrelatte, Francuska.
Hrvatska ekipa u klasi IOM je još jednom dokazala da trenutno drži sam vrh ove klase! Na Europskom prvenstvu klase u francuskom Pierrelatteu naših sedam predstavnika na najbolji mogući način su prezentirali sebe, timski rad i reprezentativno zajedništvo.
Na regati je nastupilo 70 jedriličara iz cijele Europe, a mjesto okupljanja je bio gradić Pierrelatte na jugu Francuske u pokrajini Provansi. Domaćini su bili na vrlo visokom nivou, a kao iznimna posebnost može se istaknuti video prijenos u živo koji je realiziran s nekoliko kamera, režijom i komentatorima.
Regata se održala na jezeru i cijelo vrijeme s količinom vjetra nije bilo nikakvih problema. Prvih dana se jedrilo s B i C kompletom jedara, da bi kasnijih dana intenzitet malo pao, a jedino posljednjeg dana je u jutarnjim satima bio zastoj s jedrenjima zbog nedostatka vjetra. Program događanja je bio uobičajen za regatu ovog ranga. Jedrilo se 3 dana, dan pauze i zatim još 3 dana jedrenja.
Dan pauze naš tim je iskoristio za kulturnu uzdizanje i turistički obilazak starog sjedišta poglavara rimokatoličke crkve, grada Avignona.
Nakon odmora nastavilo se s jedrenjima i naši su nastavili u pobjedničkom ritmu. Marko Matić je samo potvrđivao vodeću poziciju. oko trećeg mjesta su se nalazili Zvonko Jelačić i Ante Kovačević. Među prvih 10 pojavljivali su se Mirko Ukas i Mario Škrlj, a u dosta plovova grupe A su im se pridruživali i Robert Matulja, Boris Bakotić i Robert Grubiša.
U predposljednjoj regati čak su sva prva 4 mjesta u grupi A naši kormilari zauzeli naši jedriličari. Već tada je Marko Matić ostvario nedostižnu prednost i osigurao naslov Europskog prvaka!
Na kraju 28 jedrenja CRO tim je na ljestvici bio postavljen ovako:
1. Marko Matić
3. Zvonko Jelačić
6. Ante Kovačević
10. Mirko Ukas
11. Mario Škrlj
15. Robert Matulja
24. Boris Bakotić
28. Robert Grubiša
