In the open forum Wouter asked me: "Hey Holger, next year a short holliday on the Dutch coast for you ? With boat of course!" And with the discussion here about next GC I would suggest the Ijsselmeer in Netherlands with the marina Muiderzand. I've been there this year for some holiday and there we have all: Best launching area I have ever seen, large catamaran club, flat open water at the Ijsselmeer, inexpensive and large camping area nearby. Unfortunately we had bad sailing weather at our holiday there, and I haven't sailed as much as planned but it is another trip worth! see picture... Kiel in Germany has more facilities for yachtsailors than cat sailors and no other race for cat's than the Kiel Week, and there only for Tornado and F18. Holger
