The YC Bielersee, the host for the event, took the silver by winning 4 of 8 races. Their team consisted of Lea Tschudi, Barbara Brugger, Dominique Muller, Chantal Suri, and Nicole Bolliger.

Losing that countback on the tiebreaker was Yacht Club Arbon with the team of Livia Naef, Nathalie Winiger, Tessa Egli, and Dani Rast.
