The season is well underway with two races having taken place on Lake Zurich and Lake Geneva. Not too radical conditions with fairly light winds allowed competitors to sharpen their knives and jump back into the season without too much drama. See some photos of the action on our instagram account.
The kick-off of the season is nearing fast. Two first races in May, one on lake Zürich and one on the lake Léman. Register now to motivate the others and especially to support the orgazing club and your class. Here are the direct links to the first two races:
ZSC Pfingstregatta Zürich-Rapperswil
CNF Criterium Esse 850, GS et Toucan
If you can't make one of these two, remember the full calendar link is here.
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 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.

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.
