Stormy conditions at the Esse 850 European Cup

Details

Not as usual, this year, the main event of the class, the Europa Cup Esse 850 in Malcesine, was fully stormy and full north wind «Pelèr » dedicaded.

It means strong conditions for the crews, looking like, kite up. Wet, wet, wet, jibing, kite down. Oops – kite in the water! Aargh… But all that makes the sailors tired but very happy after the sailing day. Eight races sailed, three victories for our team (Fanny, Loïc, Dario & me).

Thanks to the very good crews from Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland to push us hard. Again a nice championship, with friendly teams and nice organisation.

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.
