Lake Traunsee…
Dear Shark24 Sailors!
...is waiting for you!
The Sailing Club Ebensee is ready to host the
Shark24 World Championship 2016 from May 7th until May 10th.
Lake Traunsee is well known in the sailing world. Hosting the RC44 Austria Cup
five times in a row, the world’s best sailors, such as Russell Coutts,
Terry Hutchison, Paul Cayard and Ray Davis sailed there and elected the lake
as the best competitive RC44 tour stop. Since 2013 the GC32 Class is sailing on
Lake Traunsee for the GC32 Austria Cup. An international high class sailing event
with world class sailing Teams like Alinghi, Oman Sailing and Spindrift and a
multifaceted supporting program.
In the morning hours the famous “Oberwind” will provide perfect sailing
conditions for early birds. At noon the wind shifts to north direction, again a
thermal breeze which is called “Niederwind”.
The date of the Shark24 World Championship fits perfectly to set it as highlight of
the annual “Traunsee Week” (May 5th-8th) – a sailing event of several day’s duration
taking place at Lake Traunsee, hosting 15 boat classes all over the lake. Due to this fact
and the successful partnership of the five sailing clubs in the cities of Gmunden,
Altmünster, Traunkirchen and Ebensee, Lake Traunsee is the perfect spot for running the
Shark24 World Championship.
The well proved cooperation of the organizing authority (SCE) with PROFS as the
professional organizer of the “Traunsee Week” and as service provider for sales, sponsoring
and marketing and the media part of this European Championship will be covered and will
guarantee a maximum output to all media, both national and international.
We would like to invite you to this festival of Sailing!
Lake Traunsee is ready for you and the Shark24 World Championship!
With sportive regards,
