The 6th St. Moritz Match Race, which takes place from 2-7 September this year, will be competed for using the new blu26 boats, a decision recently reached by the event’s organising committee. The bluboats team are delighted about this selection and will deliver six blu26 one-design yachts for this high-level event in the Swiss mountains in which the world’s best sailors from the America’s Cup and the match racing scene participate.
The 4-man boat has been especially developed by bluboats for match- and fleet-racing, and has been designed with Switzerland’s particular wind and weather conditions in mind. The result is a highly developed and refined racing yacht, which is ideally suited for racing on Lake St Moritz. In fact, the blu26 was trialled here during last year’s Match Race event.
The St. Moritz Match Race Regatta offers the highest prize money in Switzerland, and not only does it form part of the World Match Racing Tour, but it also counts towards the ISAF World Match Racing Championship. This status guarantees very competitive racing with the world’s best in the Engadin valley… this year on the blu26.
