Kust Zeil Evenement (Coast Sail Event) 2011




This weekend we had the 'Kust Zeil Evenement' in Hoek van Holland. On Thursday and Friday we had a trainingday to get used to the sea and the waves. Saturday: first eventday, 16-19 knots, waves and a lot of sun. First race didn't went well, but the 2th and 3th race we sailed much better.






After the first eventday we went to the Summer Jazz Festival in Leiden, where we met de band: 'Good Luck' from South Africa.....they were amazing!!! But Jules Deelder (Dutch poet and writer) did well too...

 


Sunday: second eventday, less breeze than Saturday but much bigger waves...and no sun...BUT, we did quite a good job. At the end we won 3th place! (Serie: 5, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4. The 5 has been discarded) We worked really hard this weekend, we gave it the best we could, so we look back with a satisfied feeling to this event.
Next week North Sea Regatta!!!
