blu26 – Markus Bohren brings home the blu26 Zugersee Cup

blu26_Zugerseecup_2011_1

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.

blu26 – Jérôme Clerc is the new Swiss match race champions

blu26_MRZug_2011_5

Jérôme Clerc and his team from the Geneva Regatta Training Centre (Centre d’Entraînement à la Régate – CER) have won the Swiss champion title during the Volvo Match Race Cup Zug. Thanks to this result, they are directly qualified for St. Moritz Match Race, the World Match Race Tour Swiss stopover.

Zug, June 6, 2011 – The final of the Volvo Match Race Cup took place last week-end in Zug. The event saw the victory of Jérôme Clerc’s team, ahead of Alain Stettler Eric Monnin and Marcel Walser.

The final took place in light conditions. Jérôme Clerc and his team (Bryan Mettraux, Elodie-Jane Mettraux and Denis Girardet) took the best start and controlled their opponent throughout the race, winning the title convincingly.

“We stared really badly”, commented Jérôme Clerc. “We lost our first three matches and had to win everything after this. That’s what we did! The semi-finale against Eric Monnin’s team was really intense. We won 2-0 and were very pleased with this. Then we competed in the final and kept one boat length ahead of our opponent throughout the race. It was very tense!”

The team from the CER started the season in style, winning events in the Decision 35 Class. They now confirm their talent on other supports. Thanks to this victory, they will compete this summer in St. Moritz Match Race (August 30 – September 4), the Swiss stopover of the World Match Racing Tour, against the world’s best specialists.

blu26 – Class Racing Clinic on Lake Garda

blu26_Gardasee11_1

This year the second annual blu26 Class Racing Clinic took place on Lake Garda. Six teams from Germany and Switzerland were participating, coached by Christian „Blumi“ Scherrer and the team from the “Sailingcenter Tegernsee” with Stephan Eder and Florian Hornsteiner. Even though Lake Garda was not up to its best, the boats were out every day, and the sailors have therefore been able to make good use of their time in Aquafresca. Thanks to the training, video analysis, and various classroom sessions, all teams were able to improve their sailing skills significantly.

In the evenings everybody was enjoying the excellent Italian food and discussing the day’s highlights over a good glass of wine.

The Bluboats Team would like to thank all participants and is looking forward to next year!
