Your Esse 850 Committee

This years Esse850 Swiss Championship was organized by the Segel-Club Enge in Bächau. A beautiful place, a great organization with nice people, good food and a very competent race comittee. The weather was sunny and warm, but the wind was light and unstable. We could still sail 7 fair runs, while most other regatas in Switzerland had either less or no runs during this week-end.  

The sailing season should start soon and it is time to plan it. The 2020 season is one to forget, but we can hope that the 2021 season will be nearly back to normal given that for the Esse, many events will take place in July or later. Please check this year’s calendar on https://esse850.org/en/esse-850-ic-cup/the-agenda .

A fleet of 50 boats with 9 Esse (750, 850, 990, 330) took part at the act 8 of the Langstrecken event 2020 on the Züri See. With wind up to 35 knots, the race was tough and many did not finished.

The sailing season could finally start again this summer after the lockdown. There were unfortunately only a few boats in Malcesine, but 9 races could be sailed with SUI 178 Solino taking the win, and ITA 018 Atreju and SUI 005 Esseboats completing the podium.
