Youth Worlds (?) training in Riva del Garda

10/20/2021

0 Comments

 
We’ve had an excellent week with excellent wind at Lake Garda. Just our conditions. We really enjoyed it and feel well prepared for the World Sailing Worlds in Oman before Christmas - if we actually will be selected. We will sail two two more regattas in Italy before hopefully taking off.

This camp was joint with sailors from our region, around 100 junior sailors in Optimist, 420, 29er and Laser. A monster camp and kudos to Reinhard Rigling and Jaro Kleisner for getting it organized!!

Swiss Sailing League Neuchatel and Spiez

10/20/2021

0 Comments

 
My brother Niklas and I, along with more junior members of my club (and our not so junior father) represented our club at two events of Swiss Sailing League. There was close to no wind in Spiez but we had to sail anyway which sent  us to 8th place. There was excellent wind on day 2 in Neuchatel where we sailed three bullets, a 3rd and a 2nd place. There was very little wind on day 3 where we did really badly. On day 1 my brother helmed in lightwind conditions (I couldn’t sail due to school), reaching two fifths and a first place in races of six boats. We ended up 5th in Neuchatel and 6th overall in Swiss Sailing League Challenge League (second of three leagues) which means we will remain in Challenge League in 2022.

Two national regattas

We’ve sailed two national regattas in Switzerland one with very little, another with essentially no wind. Not our favorite conditions as we are no longer light. We ended up third place at both events but at least there are a few ultra lightwind photos.

Our coach Simone Malagugini taught us to fly. All of use took off immediately. Lots of fun at Lake Como.

Youth Cup 2021

10/20/2021

We’ve sailed the Swiss Sailing League Youth Cup on Lake Thun over the summer holidays. The wind conditions were… well, even worse than at the 420 Europeans and 420 Worlds. I have been sailing with my brother Niklas and two other juniors from my club, SC Stäfa. The locals from Regattaclub Oberhofen and Thunersee Yachtclub really aced it and distanced the rest of the fleet. We ended up fifth place, not really what we were hoping for. Of course, we didn’t train together at all.
Anyway, felixklingpictures.com shot some very nice pics (direct link: https://felixklingpictures.com/portfolio/2021-swiss-sailing-league-youth-cup/).
