The assembly will be held on Friday, 1st of September 2017 during the Esse 850 Swiss Championship at Yacht Club Zug. Please find all further details in Stephan Züger's invitation letter. See you there! Update 28.08.2017: General Assembly was moved to Staurday 07.10.2017 (invitation will follow).

On July 14 in Malcesine, Northern Italy, 19 sailboats took off for the Esse 850 European Open tournament on Lake Garda.

„Magnificent, magnificent, magnificent!“ – That’s how Esse 850 IC committee member Donato Perucchi summarized the long weekend at the prize giving ceremony of the Esse 850 Geneva Cup on Sunday afternoon. Well, he could truly not have been more precise as the second event of the Esse 850 IC Cup 2017 simply was as good as it gets: 3 days of uninterrupted sunshine, two lovely dinner parties on the terrace of the Société Nautique de Genève, 10 beautiful races and an exciting battle for the podium.

What a nice start of the Esse 850 IC Cup 2017! A friendly round of six teams enjoyed lots of wind and some big waves at the Mediterranean Cup 2017 in Lerici. Seven races could be sailed in only three days and the battle for victory was pretty damn close.

This Saturday, the official Esse 850 Season 2017 gets started at the Mediterranean Cup in Lerici (ITA). However, for many ambitious Esse 850 teams the starting signal for the new season already dates back several weeks. On Lake Zürich for example, the local fleet enjoyed a sunny weekend of intense training in mid-April (Video and Pictures). We wish all Gentlemen a grand first event in Lerici with only the best of sailing conditions and Italian hospitality!
