We often only look at the big boats and big names, but this guy has carved a reputation out for himself. For many years now he sails Prindle 15's and he is impossibly fast on them.

Each year he ends up in the top 50 of the Texel race. To do so he needs to stay ahead of halve the fleet at texel on elapsed time itself on a boat with second slowest handicap number in the entered fleet.

Each time he dominates the singlehander class often finishing ahead of more than halve of the singlehanders entered which are mostly I-17, Hobie FX-ones, H17 and A-cat or older B class A-cats.

This guy is one of the lesser know hero's of Texel.
