Just to go back to the costs (Sorry) I have just worked out the approximate sum I would have to budget for to participate at this event. 8 Days in Holland plus travel and entries works out at £1,851 or if my maths is correct 2,131 euros. Which = £168/race or 254 euro's. Just as a comparison if you traveled from Holland to enter the Nations Cup your average cost per race would be £75 or 113 euros. Just under half the price and more scheduled races.
Just to throw a spanner in the works I could participate in the Aruba Regatta (including flights, container and accommodation) for the same amount as it would cost to go to Zandvoort?
Don't get me wrong I can understand where Gary is coming from in regards traveling long distances for short events but lets be honest how many non Europeans are going to turn up with their Cats.
