Jollenregatta Stäfa

6/22/2015

0 Comments

 
Another regatta at my own sailing club last weekend. SC Stäfa hosted the annual Jollenregatta with optimists, Lasers and 420. Since I won the last regional regatta in Enge I was pretty nervous and felt some pressure. Day 1 didn't go so well, day 2 was much better. We had very good wind which is quite exceptional for our lake. I came in 4th with my brother Niklas in my neck as 5th. My SSTR5 teammate Jonas won :-). Despite the pressure I felt the regatta was great fun. It's always good to sail before the front door.

Coming up next is another regional regatta in Nuolen July 4/5. We are participating with ten kids from my club. It's gonna be fun!!

National Austrian Regatta Achensee, June 23/24

The Austrian national regatta at Achensee did not go very well in terms of the ranking. I did, however, learn quite a bit. Like how to get better organized, be better prepared and how to get along without my coach on the water. I also learned how to pitch a tent ;-). I've added my mistakes to my mistakes list and hope not to repeat them. My coach Sebi shot a few really cool photos from the shore. SUI1583 is my brother Niklas, SUI1171 and SUI1254 are my teammates Jonas and Nik. They all did pretty well.

We've never met any Austrians at any international regatta before and we were actually a bit surprised that they also know how to sail an optimist...

Coming up next is Jollenregatta Stäfa, a regional regatta organized by my own sailing club.

Zürichseecup 2015

Zürichseecup is one of the biggest sailing events at our lake. It brings together all clubs in the region and there’s serious prize money to win. That money goes to the clubs’ junior sailing teams. Each club forms a team consisting of an optimist, a dinghy (420, 29er, Laser) and a yacht. My club had three teams in the race and I was in a team with a yacht sailed by my coach Sebastian, my dad and the very nice owner. We trained quite a bit on the Melges 24 and we all enjoyed it very much. I think we really did a good job and I’d like to know how well we would do were we to sail against other Melges. We also enjoyed the regatta, even though we had absolutely no chance to beat the much bigger Onyx, Esse and X35. Some Onyx and Esse we could actually beat but our ranking was quite miserable still – boat size was not taking into account in a yardstick style. I also didn’t do too well myself on my optimist. We only had two races in very light winds and in each race I started too early, needing to do a 360. The race course was very short so I could not make up for my mishap and ended up 7th of 16 optimists.

My older brother Niklas did much better, coming in a 2nd optimist and as 4th team, winning a very nice prize money that will I guess be spent on our boat park :-).

Coming up next is a national Austrian regatta at Achensee. I am hoping for strong winds and I am looking forward to do camping with my SSTR5 sailing team!
