By By and Welcome Back Next Year

Now the 6th Ticino Saling Week Laser Europacup organized by the Circolo Velico lago di Lugano is over.
We had 4 days with intensive racing with 90 boats in different conditions; 3 days racing in good thermic winds from south and 1 day have heavy sailing with the strong north wind blowing on average 20-25 knots with some gusts up to 30 knots.
In this 4 days we sailed 7 races in the gulf of Lugano.

Remarkable results of the Croation sailors dominating the podiums of the 4.7 Kljenak Fillip and the standard fleet Taritas Ivan.
In the Radial fleet the SLO sailor Stanisic Dany won the last race and gained the top position at the ranking.

We are also very pleased with the 3rd place of the SUI sailors in Nathalie Brugger in the Radial fleet and Max Bully in the Standard fleet.

For us organizers this event is every year a milestone in our schedule. It’s the first big event of the year where all the volunteers, approximately 30 work together for 5 days, a big thank you to all of them.

The Lido was an excellent location to run such an event. In a few months our new club will be hopefully finished. I’m asking myself if we would rather stay at the lido for next year instead the new club?

During this days we took a lot of photos which are now available to be downloaded, go and take a look.

We also had a professional photographer Roberto Ghidoni on the race course, you will find his pictures and contact details on his site

Before closing this year I also would like to thank you all the sponsors, without this support there wouldn’t be such an event.

From now on we will maintain this site to inform you about the current standing of the preparation work for next year.

Looking forward to see you and many more laser sailors next year.
