Report :
Saturday morning at 11:30 the startsignal of another round of Tien Gemeten was given.About
175 catamarans where present for this popular sailing race. The race started at a slow
breeze force 2-3SE
start was upwind with a little advantage for starboard starters. Result was a big group of
early starters, in
the upwind leg there was a lot of short tactic tackings under the shore. The leg to the
island "Tien Gemeten"
took about 2-2,5 hours of sailing. The first 15 boats rounding the island mark were a
dominator(self made)
cat, the light weather A-cats, Tornado's and Nacra inter20. The Downwind leg back to
Hellevoetsluis was
nice spinaker leg bringing nice competition. First finisher was the Dominator sailed by
Piet Heemskerk
followed by a Tornado spi and a Nacra inter20.
Overall : 1st John de Vries and
Jefrey Luitjens TORNADO SPI
2nd Remco Kenbeek and Marieke Tobias
DART HAWK
COMPLEET RESULTS COMING SOON!!
Coming up starting 1999 : Next year I will give special attention to the biggest class in the
Netherlands,
the Formula 18 Class. The F18 class is a 18 feet cat with a spinaker. There are
different builders but the
concept is strictly the same, all builders building conform class rules and discriptions.
This resulted in a class
with high competition level. Hobie Tiger, Nacra Inter18 and Dart Hawk are the most popular
F18 Boats at
this moment. See the picture page.
