Dunno, mate - Jack at Performance mentioned yesterday that the Infusions he'd sent over were racing on an inland lake in Holland this weekend and that Capricorns were also expected to be there - I did not press him for details - again, just passing it along. Perhaps I misunderstood.



I think I can clearify this.

This inland lake can only be the IJsselmeer and that means that they are at cat club "de roerkoning". Remco Kenbeek is the Dutch importer of the Capricorn F18 and he has his shop right at this cat club. Last year there were quite a few Capricorn F18's at this cat club, among which Remco himself. For this reason you will expect alot of them to be out on the water.

The official racing calender of the Netherlands mentions sunday 2nd of april as the first day of the "voorjaars bokaal" = spring cup. However on the webpages of the actually organising clubs it is said that both events only start on sunday 9th april. This will, no doubt, lead to confusion and misunderstandings. At this time I don't know which announcement is correct, but I would gamble on the homepages of the club themselfs. If so then there will not be any official racing in NL this weekend. Most likely only a handful of boats out on the water doing some practizing after a long winter of no sailing. All crews will still be clearing the "rust" out ; so any reports must be viewed in that way.

Hope this helps
