Regattaverein Brunnen Esteemed Six Metre sailors Sailing is a team sport, especially racing at a high level, as is expected in a Championship. Once again we are very happy and proud to invite you to participate in the International Six Metre European Championship 2016 and at the Swiss Open Championship, that will act as the tune up regatta. Lake Uri and the bay of Gersau will again offer the best sailing conditions. Our team and all our helpers are ready to welcome you. Regattaverein Brunnen René Baggenstos, President

International Six Metre Association ISMA Dear Six Metre sailors Many of our Six Metre friends gave a very enthusiastic report of the good winds and sunshine at the regatta in the heart of Switzerland in 2010. So there was a strong vote in favour when again the Swiss Six Metre Association and the Regattaverein Brunnen invited us to come again. Matt Brooks, President ISMA

Association Suisse des 6mJI Chers amis de ces très élegant voliers C’est avec grand plaisir que nous avons une autre fois la chance d’organiser le championnat d’Europe pour notre serie en Suisse. Nous nous efforçons de encore vous offrir des belles journées de voile et de convivialité. Heureux de vous revoir tous et beaucoup d’autres qui nous ont promis de suivre notre invitation. Association Suisse des 6mJI Beat Furrer, President

Regattaverein Brunnen – RVB – the Host-Club For more than 50 years the Club has been one of the major features of Brunnen as a holiday resort. The Regattaverein Brunnen is situated in the most beautiful and for many people also the best racing site in Europe. Due its special location on the northern edge of the Alps, Lake Uri - part of Lake Lucerne benefits from a reliable and reasonably strong thermal wind. From spring to autumn on most days between 11h and 16h you can expect winds of 12-20 knots.

Each year the Regattaverein Brunnen organizes around 10 regattas, often Swiss, but also European and even World championships. The Regattaverein Brunnen welcomes you and wishes all participants a fair competition. „Mast- und Schotbruch“ René Baggenstos Präsident RVB

Information for participants at the Europeans 2016 Accommodation: Competitors should arrange their own accommodation. Early booking is recommended with the Brunnen Tourist Office, Bahnhofstrasse 15 6640 Brunnen, Switzerland + 41 41 825 00 40 www.brunnentourismus.ch The homepage is available in: German, English and French

Camper and Tents: There are several Camping areas in the neighbourhood of Brunnen. We suggest you make an early reservation. Camping is not allowed outside these official areas.

Tender / Ribs: Additional boats are welcome. As Switzerland makes a lot of effort to have clean Lakes, old 2 stroke outboard engines will not be accepted. We propose you to have equipped your tender / ribs with clean 4 stroke engines. Your tender will be integrated in the safety-plan of the race organisation.

Safety matters: The Lake of Uri offers beautiful thermal winds with sunshine. Sometimes we get the „Föhn“. This wind falls down from the mountains in the south of the lake. If you do not know the weather situation it’s difficult to foresee the Föhn. This wind arrives within 10 minutes and can build up to Beaufort force 8 – 10 in a short time. Therefore it may be that the race officer stops a race. In these circumstances all the boats must go back immediately to the Marina as quickly as possible. Pay strict attention to the safety advisers on the Lake.

Length of the up-wind – downwind legs: Given the size of our waters, the European Championship 2016 participants will note that the up-wind and down-wind legs will vary between 1.3 to 1.8 nm. Two races will be sailed per day. For details read the Notice of Race. Notice of Race: will be published later on this site For any information please contact: Beat Furrer [email protected] or +41 79 301 85 30
