We never saw Bard on the course, but I understood that he was up with Geert - is there an error in the results here?



Geert reported later on the beach that he and Karin (his crew) were near to Bard and Lonneke for the leg back. With the gap shrinking and extending like a bungee cord with the gusts/windlanes.

But now that I look at the results more closely I say what you are referring too.

Bard had just gotten ahead of me when rounding the halveway mark. So I too now wonder about the result by Bard and Lonneke. Right before I capsized Bard/Lonneke overtook me. But in the scoring listing I see Hans Klok, Martien Kooyman/(crew) van Marle, and even the Spitfires ahead of Bard/Lonneke, despite the fact I have seen these crews go past my capsized boat myself and they were all quite some time behind Bard/Lonneke. Maybe there is a scoring error or maybe they capsized as well, just like several of us ? Does anybody know ?

Looking even more closely at the results shows that they only finished less then 9 minutes ahead of me and that was after me being over for a good 10 or 15 minutes and sailing back really relaxed for over an hour and 30 minutes.

I had assumed on the beach that Bard/Lonneke creamed us all.
