We are proud to announce that the 2024 calendar is available thanks to the valuable inputs provided by our members and with an objective to have as many participants as possible. We hope you are as excited as us to get back on the water and challenge other crews on this exciting platform.

The Uristier VC-Cup is a beautiful and usually windy regatta. If we have enough registrations to have our own start for the regatta it is planned to organize a class regatta in 2025. Watch this space as we confirm the final agenda for this event.

These regattas will be the ones counting for the Esse850 IC Cup, all with an equal weight. More regattas are agended on Zurich to be part of local Esse850 Cup and we’re also looking forward to gather many Esse850s together at other lake Leman regattas and “Semaines du Soir”. 

Go straight to the 2024 calendar here.

The 2022 General Assembly of the Esse850 IC Association took place during the Class Championship in Morges. The Minutes of Meeting can be seen here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m05uXkNwls3HS7aoTcT51OkvvWi-WFah/view?usp=sharing

The 9 boats who came at the Esse850 Class Championship in Morges didn’t regret it. It was a beautiful week-end with plenty of wind and sun. Thursday with 20 knots of wind, there were a few practice races.

L’European Cup de Malcesine 2022 a été comme chaque année un vrai plaisir pour les participants. Cela a commencé pour nous avec un départ de Lausanne à 7h le mercredi matin. 2 heures plus tard, nous prenons déjà notre premier café en Italie et on se sent en vacances. La route se passe sans encombre et comme d’habitude nous sommes bien accueillis à la Fraglia Vela Malcesine par tout le personnel. Le grutier est sympa, souriant et efficace et vers 18h, le bateau est à l’eau, l’équipage enregistré et pesé (petit moment de stress !) et nous pouvons prendre notre premier Spritz.

With the SVT Esseboats Cup Thalwil Cup, a new regatta format for Esse sailboats was tried out for the first time. The regatta event was held from 8 to 10 July on Lake Zurich at SVT Thalwil. The special thing about it was that every type of Esseboat could take part - and all types were there, from 750s, 850s and 990s to Esse 300s.

More about the new SVT Esseboats Cup and the ranking can be found in the Esseboats blog.
