Wind at last! And a proper one, as it turned out to be. At the start it was initially pretty light, being on the 79 I could use a few knts extra. With the mastfoot all the way in front it hoovered very nicely over the Amstelmeer chop. Perhaps I should have trimmed back as the conditions where pretty ok. When we headed back for a drink, the few extra knts as requested turned up, altough I didnot request air support by means of all 37knts extra! So we had a blast back to the beach and I ended up crashing and a 100mtrs short. As it was a bit rough, and my leg cramped, I decided to take an easy float to the beach instead of wrestling the ocean-like swell. The 'warme-handjes surfpak', altough equipped with water-cooling nowadays, is still really comfy and warm. (thx for the new nick-name!).

Jan (and crew) chapeau!!!

Thanks for organizing a great event!

The best things about the new format in my opinion;

- runs only in one direction, Starboard = very save!!

- 500m is a real new challence for the 10 second guys and more save in my opinion cause you know you need lots of room and peaple know you need it.....the direction of the run is more clear to and less deep down to keep momentum after 10 seconds.....

- price giving for all classes directly after a very nice podium for the competitors!

I had a very nice time today, could not have hoped for more!

Hans was off course the man to beat....very well sailed Hans!!

Strange....I missed lots of the favourites....

Very good call!
