ECC-trophy

This is the ECC trophy. You will have the honour of keeping this unique sculpture for one year if your team wins the ECC.
Year after year, the name of the current ECC winner is added to the sculpture. But remember this is not an olympic race: we sail just for fun. The trophy is for the winner boat, but we all are winners.

Good luck and lots of fun to all competitors!


Commodores Cup
 

 

Founder: Heinz Baedorff

The Commodores Cup will be challanged only by the ECC-Winners of the past ECC history. Those ECC-Winners get the status of a Commodore. Therefor the Commodores Cup has become a very famous and ecxiting race during the ECC-Regatta week. With special thanks to Heinz, we did get this unique event, which makes the ECC even more complete and gives it a special touch.
