Simon,
You are absolutly right on that, it is a great commitment to come over to the mainland for just 1 day of racing and having the change of not going because of to much wind.
It would for the organisation maybe something to have a price for the people coming from outside of Holland.
btw a very nice car.
Its not just one day of sailing, its 4 days (Dutch Open+Round Texel).
This morning there was about 15kts from the SW, at noon this rose to 20kts and racing was postponed.
Then at 16:00 the wind went back to 12-15kts and we where able to get 2 races in.
For tomorrow the forecast is 5kts SE (Is'nt that perfect A weather?).
