Violeta Alvarez’s GBR57 Erica has won the International Six Metre Classic Swiss Championship after posting a 2,3 scoreline in the two races sailed on the third and final day of the regatta on Lake Geneva.
Having started the day at the top of the leaderboard, Alvarez went on to secure her Classic Championship victory by a margin of 18 points. Second was Andy Postle’s GBR33 Nirvana, with Esben Poulsson’s GRE2 Aera third.
Philippe Durr’s SUI44 Astrée won the first race of the day and an eighth in the second race saw the Swiss crew finish fifth overall. Osi Paija’s FIN80 Astrée III, recovered from an OCS disqualification in the first race of the day with a win in the second race that left them fourth overall.
Eric Monnin’s SUI100 Duclop won the Open Championship with a pair of second places.
Loic Forestier’s SUI77 Junior won the opening race but stumbled in the second race after getting trapped on the wrong side of a large right shift on the first beat. That mistake saw them finish seventeenth and dropped the Swiss crew to third overall.
Meanwhile, despite winning the second race, an OCS disqualification in the previous race dropped Dieter Schön’s IVB145 Momo down to fourth overall.
Second in the Open Championship was Jan Eckert’s SUI140 GinkgoToo, after a fourth and a fifth on the final day.
The 2026 Six Metre European Championships begins on Sunday, 19 July.
