Dear Esse 850 sailors, thank you for choosing me to be the new president of the Esse 850 International Class at the last General Assembly in Rapperswil. Let me say a few words about myself. I am 54 years old, live in Lausanne since 2001, but also lived in Geneva, Zurich, Bern, Basel, in the US, Stockholm and Malaysia. After many years in the telecommunication industry, I became 10 years ago a freelance consultant working on strategic projects, such as business development and fundraising for small companies and start-ups. I like innovation and new ideas, which I hope will also serve the class. I acquired my Esse 850 IC boat, SUI 135, in 2012 after having sailed on a 505 long time ago and more recently a Ventillo 20 catamaran.

The first grade 3 event on Lake Zurich could be sailed in lovely north-easterly winds. Even though the Föhn disturbed the conditions a little bit on Saturday, the skilled committee managed to pull through six fair races by Sunday afternoon with the Esseboats Team of SUI 177 with Greg & Flo Schuchter and Chris Glaser as overall winner (see results). Thanks a lot for the nice season kick-off and a very happy 50th birthday to the host Yachtclub Horgen. We hope to be back next year! - by Greg Schuchter, SUI 177

As agreed at this year's General Assembly, the Esse 850 IC Cup 2018 will introduce a new formula with 17 events of three different grades. The goal of this development is to bring more events closer to the teams of the most popular regions, lower the threshold for new teams to take part in the IC Cup and increase the overall number of participating teams. We are glad to herewith publish the IC Cup agenda 2018 with all events of next season!

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.
