Die Blue Chip-Regatta bietet traditionell große und hervorragend besetzte Felder. Doch selbst die weltbesten Segler müssen mitunter Lehrgeld bezahlen. Tolle Boot- und Drohnen-Videos.

wir segeln eine E-Scow in der Schweiz. Auch bei wenig Wind, 2 Bft sind 10 kn unter Gennaker drin. Kann nicht verstehen, wieso das noch nicht mehr gemerkt haben in Europa. Schneller und viel komfortabler als 505, Laser 4000 und Co.

The E-Scow is a sailing scow and the younger sister of the A-Scow. Both boats are manufactured by Melges Performance Sailboats. Its rigging is similar to the A-Scow, and their hull shapes are almost identical, with a ten foot difference in length. The boat is competitively sailed in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, South Carolina, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Colorado. Recently, the E-Scow class has spread to Europe. There are boats in Switzerland, France, Finland and one in Austria’s Lake Attersee.
An E-Scow
Until 2004, the E-Scow had a symmetrical spinnaker. The National Class E Scow Association (NCESA) tested an Asymmetrical spinnaker option as a potential change to the design scantlings for two years with scattered individuals and a few fleets converting to the test rig. The asymmetrical spinnaker was voted down by the class in 2006, but revisited after the 2007 season with a modified proposal suggesting a slightly modified rig and more restricted spinnaker shape. The proposal passed, taking effect in 2008.
The boat has a high performance planing hull. It has been seen towing water skiers.[1] It is not as fast as the larger A-Scow. However, it is one-third the cost.
The E-Scow class routinely features national regattas of more than fifty boats, including a record 91 boats in the 2006 Championship regatta on Lake Minnetonka.
