the end of the third stage of the Swiss Sailing Challenge League on Lake
Neuchâtel. In an open and exciting competition until the last race, the
Segelclub Enge (Zurich) sailed well to win five races and win the
regatta in Estavayer. Taking second was Segelclub Murten and taking
third was Club Nautique de Versoix.The SC Enge team, led by Christian Sprecher, shined particularly well in the light winds on Saturday. With three victories in the first three heats, the Zurich-based team came out unbeaten from the first day of competition and took the lead in front of Segelclub Männedorf and YC Kreuzlingen.
A
cool Beaufort 2-3 wind blew on Sunday from the west, which altered the
balance of power. Morat started the day with two wins and caught up with
SC Enge. The Nautical Club of Versoix, which had been leading the
overall series, responded favorably to windier conditions and, as a
result, skipper Mathieu Cadei and his team took third place with
excellent results.The victory at Estavayer enabled SC Enge to take the overall lead in the Swiss Sailing Challenge League. CN Versoix is now in second place based on the tiebreaker at 6 pts each.
