Maxim Dneprov and Luis Zimmerli showed a very consistent performance over the whole regatta. In the very last race the moved up on the podium by finishing 4th. So they took the 2nd place overall and the 1st Place U17. Good job boys!
Before the last race, the Rast sisters were sitting in 3th position. By taking 33 points in the last race they fell back 4 places and finished 7th overall and 1st Girl Team. Achille Casco and Elliot Schick started not as they wished, but got more and more consistent during the week. At the end they missed the podium by 2 points. Also Simon Kaiser / Niklas Kaiser, Alexandre Grognuz / Siméo Vollmer and Sophie Mosegaard / Fiona Schärer sailed well. Last year not one Swiss Team was in Top 20, so 16th, 21st and 23st are also very good results! We shouldn't forget, that Sophie and Fiona also took the bronze medal in the girls ranking!

Nilo Schärer and Nik Burkhard had the plan, to fight for the top spots, but the had a very hard week. By only a few points they reached the Gold Fleet and also in the finals they couldn't perform. We hope that they will come back even stronger for the Championships this summer!

Janik Müller / Christian Steiner, Léon Fröhlich / Nathan Zwick, Ben Tresky / Yannick Kuster and Malin Karlsson / Myrlin Tappolet represented Switzerland in the Silver Fleet and made some very good races (e.g. 1. Place in race n° 8 by Malin / Myrlin)
It's nice to see, that the Swiss Fleet is getting stronger every year. Don't stop improving!
