It was bitterly cold, with sleet and snow on Lake Constance, at Altnau for the Bodensee Match Race ACT 5, but the wind conditions were excellent and eight teams from Switzerland, Germany and the UK braved the weather. The final was exciting and on this occasion the English team of Mark Lees (World ranking: 59) dealt best with the wind and waves. They controlled the German team of Tino Ellegast from the start and were clear and deserved 2-0 winners on Altnau. Third place, went to Alain Stettler (SUI) with two match victories against Lorenz Muller (SUI) Team Bienne Voile.
