The first 14 best placed league clubs are automatially eligible to compete in the following year together with the 4 best placed clubs from the qualification of autumn 2018.

The Format

The format consists of inshore fleet races on short courses and is thus of strong public appeal. The organisers will provide the boats. Team switches will take place on the water. A league weekend consists of 3 days from Friday to Sunday. The series qualifies if at least 3 rounds, in other words 9 races are completed. Race management and all the necessary and required measures in the regatta area and in the club is taken care of by the hosting club.

Austrian State Champion

The title is awarded by the Austrian Sailing Association. The top placed clubs of the Austrian Sailing League can consequently also compete internationally. At least four starting positions for the Sailing Champions League and two for the EUROSAF Club Sailing Championships are available.
