From 22-25 May the championship took place in Ascona, Switzerland. The teams fought for the title on Lake Maggiore, a gorgeous lake, created by glaciers, surrounded by a wonderful mountain backdrop and many breathtaking valleys.
The teams sailed on high performing J70 boats, with the race format umpired fleet racing. The youngsters of RCO Regattaclub Oberhofen (SUI) managed to make the best compromise of judging the shifty wind, and got on the lead. Later in that day, the team of Lefkas Youth Challenge (Greece) stepped up their game and brought steady good results positioning themselves on the second intermediary place. Big battle for third place, with Union Yacht Club Wörthersee (AUT) and TYC (Thunersee Yachtclub) going head to head and TYC coming on top as the day's races were completed.
It was more challenging for the teams close to the title. Another 13 races were conducted and concentration, physical power combined with smart tactic was requested more than before.
The RCO Regattaclub Oberhofen (SUI) managed this again a little bit better than the other teams, and left the team from Austria at the second position, Union Yacht Club Wörthersee (AUT) on distances.
As of the consolidated classification with 39 races, the Eurosaf European Champion 2019 for club sailing was the RCO Regattaclub Oberhofen (SUI) with 48 points. Congratulations! On the second position the team Union Yacht Club Wörthersee (AUT), 49 points, and on the third place the Swiss team from YCB Yachtclub Bielerseee (SUI).
