The two blu26 boats owned by ZugSailing have been named at a ceremony in Zug harbour. ZugSailing has been running a succesful sailing school with these two boats since June and bluboats wishes ZugSailing every success and fair winds.
The blu26 SUI 03 has been delivered to its new owner, Beat Müller. The maiden voyage was completed on Lake Zurich with a light breeze and sunshine. Also aboard was Christian ‘Blumi’ Scherrer, Partner of bluboats and Joëlle the daughter of the owner.
The first two boats of the blu26 series have been handed over to ZugSailing and are already in use. ZugSailing runs a sailing school, Corporate Sailing, and events. You can find out more about ZugSailing and its activities from their website.
SUI 01, the first series produced blu26 has been tested for four days in the Baltic Sea. During testing, the bluboats construction and sailing team found the yacht’s high quality and excellent sailing features very convincing. The minor changes, which have been concluded from the prototype to boat number 01, proofed to be very positive. Bluboatsis already looking forward to launching boat number 1 & 2 at the lake of Zug.

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.
