Well done Gill !
It's very nice sailing a F16 singlehanded under spi in 8-12 knots, isn't it ? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Hunting down the boats in the lead at an amazing pace !
Because it also was the Belgian A-class championship 12 A-cats showed up. British, Dutch, a Swiss and ofcourse Belgian sailors showed up. Next to the A’s 13 other single handed cat’s where present (FX One, Cirrus evolution, a Bim X16 and I on the F16 Blade).
On elapsed time you did :
8th in race one
1st in race two
1st in race three
4th in race four
Pretty convincing against a fleet of 12 A's (and 13 other modern singlehanders) in arguably prime A-cat weather with guys like Pieter Saarberg, Chris Field and Herbert Dercksen as A-cat pilots !
Wow, man. I verture you had a very good night sleep afterwards.
