Julie

Thijs Visser

From the 23th till the 29th of July,

Julie is going to sail the F16 Worlds in Bordeaux (France) with Thijs Visser (F18 Team Delta Lloyd).

We'll stay in touch and let you know how things go there!

Boyfriend/Girlfriend Sailing

Imagine you have a boyfriend or girlfriend who shares the same interests as you...I think it's a very good base for a happy relationship! Imagine it's Catamaran sailing: it's spectacular, intense, fun, exciting, sometimes extreme, not for pussies (no offense) and a real teamsport (you really need to trust eachother completely).

To have a boyfriend or girlfriend who shares this interest is a real blessing, because he or she understands you, is crazy as you are, likes challenges, never gives up, etc...BUT!!!...to do it together can be tricky ;).

But this weekend Mischa and I (Sanne) sailed the Open Belgian Hobie Championship together, and I can tell you...we survived it!! Not only did we survived eachothers stressreactions (lol), with between the 15 and 40 knots (yes, it really was 40 knots sometimes, really crazy, and extreme ;)) of breeze, we had a lot of fun! Who can say he or she does this kind of things with his or her loved one!! Well??

Goldfleet

Today we got confirmed that we are prequalified for the goldfleet for the Multi Europeans 2011 (2th dutch team overall, behind big brother Joep Wijnand). This means for us:

7-8 August: Ladies Europeans

9-10 August: Two free (training) days

11-14 August: Open class Europeans

Last week Sanne was sailing some Wildcat (clubraces and longdistance race at Skuytevaert, Katwijk aan Zee), while Julie was teaching children how to sail a catamaran at sailing-academy 'Morra'. But from now on we'll focus on the Europeans, which is in Austria this year.

Training with boyfriend: Mischa de Munck

We'll tell you more about it later!
