Junior European Championship 2019 - Vilagarcia de Arousa

The regatta:

 A total of 11 races were sailed in 6 days. Most of the races sailed were fair, the conditions varied a lot and sailors had to look around to gather as much information as possible.
The committee was eager to make every day their scheduled races and pushed it to the limit. For example the last qualifying race for the blue fleet started at 20:15! The course was well set up and most of the time the committee didn’t waste any second. As soon as the conditions allowed it, the committee tried their best to start a fair race. The last day the committee managed to start a race at 16:55, even though our last possible start was at 17:00. We can say that the committee did a great job.

The area :


We sailed in area B, situated in the red circle. There is an island located to the east of the sailing area, a river arriving in the see in the north-east of the area and many pontoons, where local Fishermans cultivate many mussels. These pontoons modify the current and disturb the wind. The area was very tricky. The 470s sailed closer to the harbor under area B, in area A. The 420s also sailed 2 races in area A - the last qualifying day and the last final day - as the wind wasn't strong and stable enough in area B. 

The conditions :

During the regatta we had wind from nearly every direction; North, North-East, South, South- West and for a short period of time West. The current varied a lot during the day. It depended mostly on the tide, if it was going in or out. The river played as well a big role in the current. If the current was coming from the south direction, it was possible to escape a little the current by going behind the pontoons on the left or to the shore on the far right. Waves were small but choppy - depending if the current was coming with or against the waves. The Swiss 420 Team managed to comprehend the racing thanks to the training week before the juniors and the few training days before the regatta.

The results

In the open 420 fleet, the first Swiss Alexandre and Siméo - who finished 20th - and Nilo and Nik - who finished 22nd -  managed to make a decent result. Samira and Natascha finished 43th overall in the gold fleet. Simon and Niklas finished 67th, Janik and Christian 75th and Leon and Nathan 79th. 
In U17, Maxim and Luis managed to do a good 16th position and Malin and Myrlin where 29th and 11th woman in U17. Ben and Yannick finished 31st.
To conclude: All Swiss Sailors sailed their best and showed that there is potential and we will come back stronger next year!

World Championship Vilamoura 2019

After some training days, the measurement and the opening ceremony, the World Championship in Vilamoura kicked of on the 6th of July with strong winds and big waves. Six races for each fleet were scheduled and also completed for the qualification series. Nilo and Nik reached the Gold Fleet in the Open Category without big problems, while Alexandre and Siméo had to wait until the last protest was held, so they could move up into the Gold Fleet. Achille and Elliot performed under the expectations and did not reach the Gold Fleet, as well as Leon and Nathan. In the Womens Fleet, Natascha and her sister Samira successfully qualified for the Gold Fleet, while Fiona and Sophie ended up in the Silver Fleet because of only two points. Ben and Yannick and Malin and Myrlin qualified themselves for the Gold Fleet in the U17 Category.
After a lot of wind at the beginning of the Championship, the Final Series were sailed in much lighter and more shifty conditions. Unfortunately there was absolutely no wind on the fifth day of the worlds. At the end, 10 races were sailed with a medium good performance of the Swiss Team. With a second place in the last race of the regatta, Malin and Myrlin finished 24th in the U17 Fleet. Ben and Yannick couldn't perform on the same level as they did in strong winds, but finished on a good 27th place. In the Girls Fleet, Natascha and Samira ended up on a strong 12th place. Fiona and Sophie finished second in the Silver Fleet with a consistent performance in the Finals. In the Open Fleet Leon and Nathan finished 5th in the Silver Fleet (50th overall) and Achille and Elliot 3rd (48th overall) by winning 3 of 4 races (unfortunately one of them was UFD) in the Finals. Alexandre and Siméo ended up on the 40th place. Best Swiss Team were Nilo and Nik on the 32nd place overall, in a very strong and high level fleet, which was won by Martin Winzer and Pedro Ameneiro in front of the defending World Champions Seb Menzies and Blake McGlashan. Vita Heathcote and Milly Boyle won the Womens Fleet and Odysseus Spanakis and Konstantins Michalopoulos are our new World Champions in the U17 Category. We're looking forward to some good performance of the Swiss Team ate the ISAF Youth Worlds this week and at the Junior European Championship the next week!

PM Ascona 2019

With two races in Ascona, the selection 2019 got to an end. Unfortunately, the Lago Maggiore didn't show it's best side. Saturday the wind was very shifty and two of four races had to be abandoned. The next day, the lake was like a mirror for the whole day.

Nilo Schärer and Nik Burkhard nearly managed to win the third PM in a row, but failed by just two points. Malin Karlsson and Myrlin Tappolet completed the podium with also 6 points.

Aprilwetter für die 420er Jollenregatta am Urnersee

Mit einer konstanten Serie gewinnen Sophie MOSEGAARD/Fiona SCHÄRER vom Thunersee Yachtclub die erste Schweizer Punktemeisterschafts-Regatta der 420er Jollen der Saison. Weniger kontant waren Wind und Wetter. Typisches Aprilwetter – Regen und Sonnenschein – Flaute und Böen bis 4 Windstärken, Winddreher von Nord auf Süd forderten Segler und Wettfahrtleitung auf dem Urnersee.

Das Podest

Der vor einem Jahr gegründete DIRT Regattaclub Sisikon startet mit Schwung und Innovation in die Regattasaison – die Kurslegung erfolgte mit neuartigen satellitengesteuerten Bahnmarken. Anstelle traditioneller Bojen im bis zu 200 Meter tiefen Urnersee zu verankern, werden die neuen Bojen von einem Elektromotor per GPS auf Position gehalten. Die Wettfahrtleitung unterstützt durch die Firma Digital-Sport-Tech legte die Bahn bequem am Tablet-Computer auf die herrschende Windrichtung aus. Bei Winddrehern ist nicht Muskelkraft auf Bojenleger-Booten gefordert, sondern die Bojen werden einfach mit dem Zeigefinger auf dem Tablet in die neue Position gezogen.
Nachdem am Samstag mangels Windes keine Wettfahrt gesegelt werden konnte, begrüsste ein frischer, kalter Nordwind die jugendlichen Segler am Sonntagmorgen. Die Boote wurden bereitgemacht, die Bahn gelegt und pünktlich um 11 Uhr ertönte das Ankündigungssignal zur ersten Wettfahrt. Bei kaltem Nordwind von 1-2 Windstärken ging der Lauf Sieg an Ben TRESKY/ Yannick KUSTER (SVT). Gleich nach dem Zieldurchgang des letzten Teams begannen die Startvorbereitungen für den zweiten Lauf. Bei anfänglich auffrischendem Nordwind begann die zweite Wettfahrt vielversprechend. Dreher und abflauender Wind brauchte aber bis ins Ziel Nerven – von Seglern und Regattaleitung. Der Sieg ging an das Team Malin KARLSSON/ Myrlin TAPPOLET vom gastgebenden DIRT Regattaclub Sisikon gefolgt von den erstarkenden Alexandre GROGNUZ / Simeo VOLLMER (CVVT). Der Start zur dritten Wettfahrt musste erst einmal verschoben werden. Dann kam der Nordwind zurück und sofort wurde wieder gestartet. Schaumkronen zeigten sich auf dem Wasser und liessen darauf hoffen, dass sich nun endlich ein kräftiger und anhaltender Wind durchsetzen würde. Leider flaute der Wind während der Wettfahrt aber kontinuierlich ab und die Flotte, angeführt vom heimischen Team Achille CASCO (DRCS)/ Elliot SCHICK (SCH) kam sprichwörtlich mit dem letzten Hauch ins Ziel.
Damit stand das Gesamtklassement nach 3 Läufen wie folgt fest:
