Texel Dutch Open results :
http://rotdominoserver.ti.mon3aan.nl/IIS/finishlists/tdo2007/index.htm#open_iiNotice how all top 10 places are taking by F18 boats ?
With 11th the M20 GTI (sloop rig)
and 12th the 16 foot Spitfire
with 13th the F18 sailed by Casey/van helden
But he is not the only one having trouble with 16 foot boats.
Our mr. Trey Brown and Hugo Le Breton on the Inter-20 OD (US rig) were beaten in race 3 by team Ruesink/van der Haas sailing a Blade F16; actually the only race the Blades participating in.
Ouch !
For the rest of the races the two Blades score a series of DNS's, reason unknown. Trey did surely better there !
And the Volvo Extreme 20, sailed by Herbert Dercksen and Aaron Mcintosh ?
Well they scored : (60.0 DNC) 18.0 6.0 60.0(DNC) 16.0 6.0
When removing the DNC's an average of 11.5 or 12th spot.
All very interesting !
