As agreed at this year's General Assembly, the Esse 850 IC Cup 2018 will introduce a new formula with 17 events of three different grades. The goal of this development is to bring more events closer to the teams of the most popular regions, lower the threshold for new teams to take part in the IC Cup and increase the overall number of participating teams. We are glad to herewith publish the IC Cup agenda 2018 with all events of next season!

On 7./8. of October 2017, the last official Esseboats event of this season took place in Thalwil as a joint regatta of the Esse 850 and Esse 750 International Class. It was a decisive weekend in terms of the outcome concerning the Esse 850 IC Cup total ranking as well as the future of the Esse 850 International Class that was discussed lively at the General Assembly.

Nine participants from four countries - Switzerland, Germany, Austria and Italy - sailed the Esse 850 International Class Austrian Open regatta in mid-September. The race took place on Moon Lake in Upper Austria. It is part of the renowned IC Cup, which is a series of six international sailing regattas and also generates the season's best performing Esse 850 team.

The president of the Gentlemen's Class herewith officially invites all members to the 11th General Assembly of the Esse 850 International Class. The assembly will be held on Saturday, 7th of October 2017 during the Esse 850 Regatta in Thalwil. Please find all further details in Stephan Züger's invitation letter. See you there!
