Weekend 16th/17th of April Report

The F18 Teamrace Knock Out was a BIG succes!! For all the people who weren't there or didn't see it on the internet live stream: you missed a big one! The whole spectacle was in front of the Sail Today at Muiderzand, we were almost able to touch the boats when they rounded the buoy.

Ok....about our races...mmmm....let's start with the comment that we were not really happy with our performance this weekend. Saturday: again No Wind, No Fun, so no races this day. Sunday it started around the 6 knots. Our first race was not so bad, we were 3th at the gate...but we missed the flag that says: flag_s.gif (932 bytes)the course has been shortened...how stupid!! So we were going to the upwind mark....while all the boats behind us were going to the finish, aaarrrggghhhh!!!

Well, we made that up in our last race :). At this point we are on 5th place of 23 boats. Next week we need to be more focussed. Friday and Saturday will be trainingdays, Sunday the last day of the Spring cup...wish us luck...
