European Open 2016 – Preview

Details

Lake Garda is calling! Next week the Gentlemen’s Class will be back in Malcesine once more for another classical, much loved edition of the annual Esse 850 European Open. More than 20 teams from Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Austria are expected to take part in this major event of the Esse 850 IC Cup 2016 in one of the world’s most famous sailing areas.

In 2015 the crown of Malcesine was taken away from team «Ottocinque» with Alain Marchand by team «Zebrabox» with Paul-Ambroise Sevestre. It was a turning point in the history of the Esse 850 IC Cup as team «Zebrabox» later also claimed victory in the overall year ranking for the first time ever. In 2016 both teams, amongst many other strong participants, will line up again to fight for the trophy of the European Open 2016, organized and held by Fraglia Vela Malcesine. Will the team around Alain Marchand be able to take sweet revenge? Stay tuned and find out on www.esse850.org as well as on our Facebook site!

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.
