blu26 – Markus Bohren brings home the blu26 Zugersee Cup
On the weekend after the Swiss Match Race nationals, 22 teams were on the starting line off Immensee to sail the 2011 Goldschäkel regatta. Among them were nine blu26 teams.
At the first mark Markus Bohren on SUI 02 already had a clear lead, followed by Peter Müller on his Corbeau. Chasing them was a group of blu26`s with “Romano & Christen”, “Blu(t)druck” and “Vodoo Child”. Even though Bohren was passed before the finish and had to therefore leave line honors to Peter Müller, he won the Goldschäkel trophy convincingly after time correction. Secondblu26 was “Romano & Christen” with Oli Wolfensberger followed by Christian Bolinger on “Blu(t)druck” and David Menti on “Vodoo Child”.
The long distance race counts double for the blu26 Zugersee Cup ranking.
On sunday, the first up-and-down race was started just before noon. Markus Bohren won ahead of “Vodoo Child” and “Romano & Christen”. With a little less wind one more race was sailed and won by Christian Bolinger with Hans Klenk on “Blu(t)druck”.
In the overall ranking, Markus Bohren (SUI 02) won the blu26 Zugersee Cup, followed by Christian Bolinger (GER 23) and Oli Wolfensberger (SUI 21).
The blu26 team would like to thank all the volunteers and participants!
It is especially worth mentioning that some participants had to come a long way, from Lake Constance, Germany, or even the Netherlands.
