On the final day of the this year´s Engadinwind event, the organisers were looking for the fastest rider on the lake and which team will be the fastest: kitesurfing-, the windsurfing or the sailboat team.
The Windsurfing team with the athletes Karin Jaggi, Björn Dunkerbeck, Patrick Diethelm, Sebastian Kördel and Richard Stauffacher could take the victory after a windy day and a lot of action in all three disciplines. They could collect the most victories in different disciplines, followed by the kitesurfers and sailors.

DISCIPLINE SPEED
The discipline speed, which took place next to the beach, where the spectators could watch the action quite close, was won by the German top race kiter Dirk Hanel with a top speed of 65 km/h followed by Patrik Diethelm and Björn Dunkerbeck. Both had a topspeed of 63 km/h, which is great due to the fact they were using big gear. Björn was on a 85 cm wide board and a 9,2 m big sail. Karin Jaggi was the fastest lady with a top speed of 52 km/h.
