Switzerland Professional Regatta Canceled

The St. Moritz Match Race, which was expected to be hosted from the 27th of August to September 1st was canceled today as a result of insufficient funding for the event. The event was first held in 2003, and was one of the stages of the Alpari World Match Racing Tour.

It’s unfortunate news for many Swiss sailing teams, as it was often their annual opportunity to compete with some of the greatest sailing talents in the world, and it drew a great deal of interest and national attention to the sport. The event for 2014 is still up in the air, but the money problem will still be a big issue for the St. Moritz Match Race organizing committee to deal with.

If you’re interested in visiting Switzerland during that time period, many accommodations were probably canceled today. If you’re looking to stay in Interlaken, Switzerland, the Backpackers Villa Sonnenhof is a quality hostel located in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
