Geneva Cup beating records

Details

For its 3rd consecutive year, the Geneva Cup beat a couple of records. The sunny weather and wind conditions were excellent with a nice Bise throughout the 3 days, with gusts reaching 30 nots on Friday.

Too much for the Esse to race and the boats stayed in the nice Geneva Nautique marina that day. But on Saturday, they sailed 7 beautiful races, one after another, another record. And 4 more on Sunday morning. As usual, the organizing and race committees did an excellent job and all 13 participating boats, coming from as far as Austria and Germany, had a great time, including a few newcomers whom we hope to see again. Alain Marchand on SUI 172 took the win, with Martin Buck on GER 041 and Jerôme Butty on SUI 135 completing the podium. Results can be seen here.

About The Class

The «Esse 850 International Class» is the official class-unification of the Esse 850 One-Design yachts and was founded in January 2007 at Schloss Rapperswil. Its task is to enable international regattas, stimulate communication among the sailors of the Esse 850 and promote and coordinate all activities in Switzerland and internationally.

In 2010, the Swiss Esse 850 Class was accommodated to «Swiss Sailing» as a Member Class and has been authorized to perform official Swiss Championships. The class association currently counts 50 members who actively participate in regattas.
