Third act of the Swiss Sailing League was held on Lake Constance, hosted by the Kreuzlingen Yachthafen. A dozen teams from across Switzerland were participating in a wide variety of weather conditions, from light to good medium breezes blowing down the length of the near 40nm long lake that borders Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Over the three-day event, 17 races were sailed, and the sailing could not have been closer with the lead determined on a tie-breaker, and the top five separated by a mere seven points. Going into the 14th race of the regatta (out of 17 sailed), the top three teams (Regattaclub Bodensee, Regattaclub Oberhofen, and Societe Nautique de Geneve) were all tied on points. Plus, sitting close behind were Societe Nautique Rolloise and YC Bielersee. In the end, by closing with two bullets after an OCS in race 14, the RC Bodensee crew (Julian Flessati, Stephan Ammann, Jonathan Rutishauser and Lea Rüegg) took the regatta win on a tie-breaker on 49 points over the RC Oberhofen (with skipper Alain Stettler) that closed with a 3-3. Sitting on the bronze position on the podium was SN Geneve with 50 points. Rounding out the top five were SN Rolloise in fourth place with 52 points and YC Bielersee in fifth place with 53 points.
