Hallo Gilo,
delivery of my blade is expected for march, so i hope to start this years sailing season soon. I'm feeling very ambitious with the new Blade, but there are some steps to Zandvoort:
First I'll need as much practise as I can get to keep the Blade in all circumstances under control.
Then i have to gain experience in some regattas in northern germany. We have insufficient numbers for an F16 field,so i have to sail in the open class.
If my learning curve is steep as expected, participation at the Global Challenge will be a real challenge for me, but chances are good. More later...
