The first Act of the season-long Swiss J/70 Sailing Super League just took place on Lago Maggiore, the lake bordered on the north by Switzerland and the south by Italy. While the weather was sunny and spectacular, the fleet of the best 12 sailing clubs in Switzerland were only able to sail 14 races in the classic “Inverna” wind conditions (the southerly thermal breeze) on Saturday only. The Segler Verein Kreuzlingen team, with skipper Tom Rüegge, dominated the regatta with five race wins. They were closely followed by the Société Nautique de Genève with Youth America’s Cup tactician Guillaume Rigot at the helm. Rüegge is pleased with the inaugural victory of his team, but is aware that the season is a total of five events, and the Cup will probably be awarded in the challenging finale in October in Versoix.
