As in previous years, we will continue to provide comprehensive coverage of Swiss regatta sport in 2025 - we thank you for the support of the classes, clubs and our readers and, in future with new leadership, perhaps also of the Swiss Sailing Federation, which would actually be responsible for media work according to their statutes.

With the renewed turbulence at Swiss Sailing, the Swiss Sailing Federation is probably still not in a position to fulfill its statutory obligations for media work in favor of sailing and its members. With our 'sailing-news', we have been fulfilling this task in an exemplary manner for 20 years: Every day early in the morning, we document all the diverse sailing activities in Switzerland and worldwide. Thanks to our regular advertisers with strong ties to the sport of sailing, the income from the sale of our news - see for example the Swiss Laser Association - and (since Corona) also thanks to the optional subscriber contributions from our readers, we have still managed to make ends meet. But at very modest financial conditions. We are therefore still urgently looking forward to further voluntary subscription contributions! Thank you very much !

20 Jahre www.sailing-news.ch !
We have been documenting regatta events in Switzerland comprehensively for 20 years now. The number of participants at the summer weekends is impressive - sailing is one of the most actively practiced sports in this country. Thanks to our demand, more and more clubs provide up-to-date news on their activities, which we redistribute on our platform. This year too, several clubs have updated their websites. ----- Above all for the ‘media work for the benefit of the members’, the association members pay their fee to Swiss Sailing ..... and we do the work, every morning, from 5 am, 365 days a year, in three languages without any support from the Federation. ----- Thank you therefore for your direct support.
