We are inconsolable about the abrupt passing of Charles Favre, a great sailor and good friend of the Esse 850 International Class. He was overturned in a gust last Thursday on Lake Geneva whilst practicing with his A-Cat and sadly could not be reanimated despite prompt presence of rescue.

The first regatta of the season is not even a week ago. Despite the fairly moderate conditions, the sailors all in all enjoyed a successful start of season at the Circolo Velico Lago di Lugano. If you wish to catch some impressions of the event, please take a look at the beautiful short movie of the Alpen Cup 2015.

Team «Ottocinque» already win this year's first Esse 850-Trophy at the first event of the Esse 850 IC Cup 2015. Today, there was once more not enough wind for the fleet to go out. This means that yesterday's ranking automatically becomes the final ranking of the Alpen Cup 2015.

The northern breeze did not push through, but the one from south did. At around about 3pm, the wind was steady enough to start the first race of the season, which was won by the SUI 156 with Daniel Schroff. After 4 races of the day though, the SUI 156 did not manage to stay in the lead.

At 1pm, all teams attended the skipper's meeting on the terrace of the beautiful clubhouse at the Circolo Velico Lago di Lugano. The race officer, namely Peter Schmidle, made clear from the get-go that it should be difficult to race today, as weather predictions did not promise any wind at all. Well, Schmidle was right.

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.
