Catpoint Class event
Jorden & Frank

Team Boskalis wins catpoint class event!

Last weekend the second Dutch F18 class event was held on Catpoint, Ouddorp. This is a really nice place to sail, specially for us as we both started sailing at this club.

The first day of the regatta started really well, because just before we went on the water we heard the great news the Nacra 17 is chosen for the new Olympic multihull. What a great news for Nacra and for the sport!!

Than the first race started. After a really long race we came down to the finish line in first position. Unfortunately we took the wrong buoy, so we had to let go Mischa and Bastiaan on the Cirrus R, and we took a second place. The second race went also really well and we had a good battle with Oscar and Karel on the C2 and Micha and Bastiaan again. We finished this race in 2nd. The third and last race of the day went perfect, we took the lead at the start and finished in 1st. After the first day we were in 1st position overall.

The second day we had a bit more wind than the first day and a nice sunshine in the afternoon. We had some really great battles again with the Cirrus and the C2. We scored a second and two first places and won the event!  Next stop is Hellevoetsluis for the Nacra Nationals.

Training South Africa
Jorden & Frank
How it’s done, by team Boskalis After the trip to Tanzania to do the Tanzacat regatta, the African sailors noticed that the level of sailing in the Netherlands is quite high. Gunnar and Frank made a video of one of their races during the Tanzacat bay races. After watching this footage several times the South African Nacra dealer invited us to come over for a week of training. We only had to think over this for about 5 seconds, and then we said.. YES we come!
Dutch sailing season ended with a clear win!
Jorden & Frank
Dutch sailing season ended with a clear win! The last weekend of the autumn cup is sailed, and we managed to win the series with a clean sweep! Just like the Tanzacat regatta, only 1st places! We were extremely lucky as we had four weeks with great conditions. All days good wind and a nice sunshine! We can look back on this sailing season with a smile. It was a very successful year for us with great regatta’s, a big learning curve and some really good results.
Autumn Cup
Jorden & Frank
After sailing the Tanzacat regatta Jorden and Frank teamed up again to do the autumn cup in Holland, which mostly means cold days and lots of wind. Because of our Boskalis F18 was still in the container until now we decided to do the series on the COMPASS Nacra F20 carbon. Great fun on the boat and it’s incredibly fast. After 3 weekends we are in a comfortable lead with 1 day to go.. Would be great to end this successful season with a win!

Round Tien Gemeten
On Saterday 29th of September Froukje & Mischa sailed the Round Tien Gemeten in Hellevoetsluis. The sky was blue the temperature was nice the water was flat and the wind was on!! The Round Tien Gemeten is a nice race to end the season. The start is in front of the Hellecat catamaran club from which around a 80 boats start racing towards the Island Tien Gemeten, over 20 Kilometers ahead. The island has to be rounded to port and than back to the club.
