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.

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.

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.

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“

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
