61st Star Trophy Urnersee SSC Act. 4

 

At the 61st Star Trophy Urnersee Act. 4 of Swiss Star Cup 2015 in Brunnen, 14 boats sailed two races each on Saturday and Sunday; the two on Saturday were on Lake Uri in thermals and wind and on two races on Sunday in south-west wind of the Gersauerbecken. Urs Hunkeler and Enrico De Maria won with Christophe Gautschi and Tina Gautschi second and Philipp Rotermund and Nils Hollweg in 3rd. At the start were 14 teams from 3 countries.

Day 1:
The race director Luc Monnin and his team set up a long course. The thermals were strong, and blew on the first leg up to 4 Bf. However, at the windward mark there was significantly less wind with a westerly influence, so being on the correct side of the course was not easy for the sailors. In the 1st race, there was some change in leadership among the top 4 teams. After 51 minutes, the winning team crossed the finish line - Lorenz Zimmermann / Cico Canali were a few meters in front of Juerg Ryffel / Alex Gouda and Urs Hunkeler / Enrico De Maria.

The 2nd race had somewhat weaker wind and the emerging south wind complicated the task for the sailors who needed to keep a bit of luck. With a downwind along the right lakeside Team Christoph / Tina Gautschi circumnavigated the whole field and won the 2nd race. In second were Stephan Unger / Regina Graf followed before Gerald Birbaum / Francois Germann.

Day 2:
On Sunday there was the west wind of the Gersauerbecken. At 11.00 clock a nice race could be started at 3 Bf. The team Philipp Rotermund / Hollweg Nils led from the start. After 1 hour, they crossed the finish line in front of Hans Stoeckli / Urs and Urs Hunkeler / Enrico De Maria.

The following race was started in a slightly decreasing south / west wind. One group of 6 boats led the field with some changes in leadership. After 50 minutes, the team Urs Hunkeler / Enrico De Maria won and so sat at the top of the rankings. Philipp Rotermund / Nils Holleg were second with Juerg Wittich / Chistian Trachsel in third. Once again Christoph Gautschi with his daughter Tina had a good finish in 4th. After this the wind was too strong so no 5th race could be started.

With finishes of 1, 3, 3 (14 pts) Urs Hunkeler / Enrico De Maria won the Urnersee Trophy 2015. Christoph Gautschi / Tina Gautschi were a very good second, and winning the tie breaker for 3rd were Philipp Rotermund / Nils Holweg over Juerg Ryffel / Alex Gouda.
