Final results for four races sailed on August 11 and 12 at Brunnen, Switzerland. Racing cancelled on August 13 due to bad weather.

Report by Sailing-news.ch:
Today was day one of the Eastern Hemisphere Championship, according to the Starclass Championship Rules at the same level as a Continental Championship. 52 teams from 16 nations are on the starting list. Among the favorites are the former European Champion Diego Negri with Sergio Lambertenghi ITA, the past-World Champion George Szabo USA (with Serge Pulfer SUI), the European Champions Hubert Merkelbach/Gerrit Bartel GER as well as Papathanassiou/Tsotras GRE. Knowing the local pecularities, some of the Swiss teams might well be among the best.

The wind forecast is not very promising, as the fast changing bad weather seems to persit during the coming days.

By noon, just in time for the opening of racing on Lake Uri, the usual thermal breeze filled in off Brunnen, but on the Southern end of the Lake, the 'Foehn', the down-slope wind in the lee of the Alps, was already present exceeding 30 kn and blocked the wind, so that no racing was possible.

But despite the rainy weather killing the usual summer thermal breeze, the PRO Beat Heinz SUI succeeded to complete three races. The first heat was started in a rain front on the Gersau Basin direction West. After several leader changes, Christoph Burger/Renato Marazzi SUI finished first.
