What a week!
The championship kicked off with no racing on Day 1 due to a lack of wind. Day 2 finally brought enough breeze, allowing us to complete four races. Unfortunately, Day 3 was another no-race day because the wind disappeared again. Luckily, the final two days delivered the famous Breva with perfect sailing conditions. Combined with the Italian heat, it made for a challenging but unforgettable week. ☀️🌬️

Considering we’ve only recently started sailing this boat, we’re incredibly proud of what we achieved: 13th place in the Silver Fleet. 💪

This week was about much more than the results. We learned a lot about our new boat, developed as a team, and got to know the Dutch F18 squad much better. Racing at our first European Championship together has given us valuable experience and even more motivation for the rest of the season.

Thank you to everyone who supported us. On to the next event! 🇳🇱🔥

Sailed at Catpoint in Ouddorp this weekend. The long course took a bit of searching, but we sailed around it really well. On the short course, unfortunately, we had to wait a few hours for the downwind water, but I am very satisfied with everything we sailed. In the end, we secured a nice 5th place; super happy with that.

The boat is now almost completely finished too, with the number on the sail.
Now it's time to train hard for what might be the European Championships in Italy on Lake Como early July.

Dit weekend bij catpoint in ouddorp gevaren de langebaan even zoeken maar toch helemaal goed rond gevaren de kortebaan helaas een paar uur gewacht op het water voor wind maar wel heel teverden met wat we allemaal hebben gevaren uiteindelijk een mooie 5de plek gepakt super blij mee.

De boot is nu ook bijna helemaal klaar het numenr in het zeil.
Nu goed traininen voor misschien wel het EK in Italie op het comomeer begin Juli.
