2014 Oestereichische Staatsmeisterschaft

Sailed on the Attersee, Austria.

Olympian Christian Nehammer with Florian Urban are the Austrian champions! ,p> From Thursday 12 - Sunday, 14.9.2014 eight races were sailed in the former Olympic Star class boat to determine the Austrian national champion. On Thursday and Friday, the wind and weather conditions were so good that four races were sailed. At seven to twelve knots the Rosenwind delighted the hearts of sailors. Participants from six nations competed in the championship.

In a class of his own was the German Hubert Merkelbach with his bowman Steffen Rutz. The reigning European Champion managed to get away from the runner-up by eleven points and take first overall.

The best Austrians and therefore winners of the State Championship title were Christian Nehammer (UYC Attersee) and Florian Urban (UYC Traunsee) in second overall. They had a uniformly good performance. "Even though I have competed at the Olympic Games, this was my first state championship. Florian and I are really happy about it," said the newly crowned national champion Nehammer.

Somewhat surprisingly, third overall and second best Austrians were the young team of Florian Felzmann (SC Kammersee) and Martin Lux (UYC Attersee). They had two race victories out of the eight races sailed. Bronze Austrian state championship goes to Christian Scheinecker and Gebhard Wallinger (both UYC Attersee). Scheinecker took gold in the Dragon National Championship this year so this is already his second national medal.
