The annual Match Race Zug was held as a qualification event for the top class St. Moritz Match Race and was sailed on blu26. Amongst the ten invited skippers were thoroughly established match racers, as well as well known names from the Swiss sailing scene, including olympic sailors Flavio Marrazzi und Nathalie Brugger. Despite lousy weather, a complete round robin could be sailed in varying conditions. Eric Monin and his team therein defeated Jerome Clerc, hence qualifying for the St. Moritz Match Race.
