Segelclub TWV Achensee is a sailing club on Lake Achensee in Maurach (Eben am Achensee) in Tyrol, with club grounds at the Prälatenhaus, Seeuferstraße 19. The club operates a buoy field on the lake, its own weather station and live webcams with live images of Lake Achensee, and provides weather data on wind, temperature, air pressure and precipitation. Members sail among other classes in the 2.4mR and take part in regattas, including home regattas on Lake Achensee and championships such as the Austrian 2.4mR national championship. Club life also includes infrastructure work such as buoy renovation, tender stands and parking layout on the club grounds. In cooperation with the Tyrolean Disabled Sports Association, club sailors are active in competitive sailing and have achieved national championship titles and medal places among other results.
History
Segelclub TWV Achensee is based on Lake Achensee in Maurach and runs its club grounds at the Prälatenhaus on Seeuferstraße 19. Maintenance and expansion of harbour infrastructure play a central role in club life: in early 2021 all buoys were fitted with new flotation bodies in several diving operations; more than 90 canisters were flooded, prepared with attachment lines and stainless-steel carabiners and hung into the buoy chains at depths of 6 to 9 metres. In addition, buoy numbers were fixed near the ground gear and an orientation line between buoys was planned to help divers orient themselves at depths of up to 40 metres; the work was documented to create master data sheets for each buoy. Further projects concerned renovating the tender stands, clearing the wooden hut for a magazine for buoy administration, and reorganising parking and trailer areas on the club grounds. Sportingly the club is active among other classes in 2.4mR and competed at the Austrian national championship on Lake Traunsee (20 to 22 August 2021); Eva-Maria Jöchl became national champion and Mario Graus won bronze after preparation with coach Thomas Warminger. The home regatta on Lake Achensee on 4 and 5 September 2021 followed. The club also operates live webcams and its own weather station on Lake Achensee.
