Posts: 221 Netherlands | Dear All, As you all maybe had seen on the forum is that the Global Challenge in Singapore is cancelled. I want to thank David again for his effort he did to try to get it organised. Never the less the F16GC things it is necessary that there will be a major F16 event is needed to get the class to a higher international level. This is one of the reasons why we did some investigation to try to get a Global Challenge organised at the sailing club of Zandvoort (The Netherlands). After a meeting with the club board there where enthusiast to help the F16GC with the organisation of the Global Challenge 2007 . So we are proudly to pronounce that the F16 Global Challenge will be held at the WVZandvoort (Watersport Vereniging Zandvoort) in beginning of August 2007. Because of the short time the exact details are not ready yet but will come soon. If you are interested to come please send an e-mail to HansKlok@formula16.org or to John Alani at JohnAlani@formula16.org I also want to ask you to keep an eye on the F16 website because there will be more information available soon. See for some info the sailing club website http://www.wvzandvoort.nl | | | Re: Zandvoort Global Challenge 2007

Posts: 1,382 Essex, UK | It should be cheaper to organise a container from the US to Holland than to Singapore shouldn't it? Can we expect some US F16s for the first part of August 2007?
What about boats from Asia and/or Australia? Any appetite for this one guys?
I'm assuming that we can count on those mainland Europe F16s to embark on a little journey to Zandvoort for some fun, sailing and socialising?
For UK F16s, I've checked with Stena Line (Harwich to Hook)and a return will cost between £225 and £285 depending on time of sailing. This is for a car, trailer and two adults. On board accommodation is extra. If we know how many are travelling we can pro bably organise a discount and it gets even cheaper per boat if some trailers go two-up with 4 adults in a vehicle. We could also investigate a bigger stacked trailer with a big 4x4 to pull it and see if this cuts costs further.
Talk to us, guys, and let's see if we can get a total of 40 boats or better to Zandvoort!!

Unfortunately, the 30th Round Texel is set to take place on 23rd June 2007 - over a month before the dates we have been offered for the F16 Global Challenge.

Naturally I will be there, it is my home club afterall. This is a bit of a surprise as you guys have kept this well secret. Normally my intelligence network will have picked up on something like this but this time it didn't. Naturally I'll have some obligation to help out in organising as for me the travel time and expenses are close to zero. Luckily I'm also the race officer for the Zandvoort club so I think part of my volunteer work will be in that area. So John and Hans, were do you want me ? Please do not plan a too full schedule for me as I still have to do my thesis work around that time. I think a good turn-out is to be expected. I say lets make this work ! Wouter

From the stories I hear from the mumbles event I would consider that to be a very good venue !
nicely sheltered water, something that Zandvoort is not.
On the other points, I was just joking around. But indeed I knew nothing of it, but you won't hear me complain about the decision to have fallen on my home club.

nicely sheltered water, something that Zandvoort is not.
Is this an issue "we" should be worrying about; given that a fair number of the boat that would attend (me included) will have fixed rudders, is Zandvoort the best place ? How bad is it. Can we get off the beach with an onshore F4-5 (say). Put me down as a maybe untill I know more about the area. I have only sailed at Catwijk and Texel and Zandvoort looks similar. Would somewhere on the Isselmeer be better as launching should be easier ?

Posts: 9,582 North-West Europe | Zandvoort would be exactly similar to Katwijk. Although I think our club is much prettier and we are better located with respect to the town. But the beach and sandbars and surf are pretty identical. If we hold the event in mid-summer then I don't think the surf will be much of an issue. But Hans is way longer a member at this club then I am and I respect his judgement unconditionally. Can we get off the beach with an onshore F4-5 (say).
It is never the wind but the seastate that determines this. Mostly I can get off the beach just fine in these winds. Also the predominant winds are south-west and thus parallel to the shore line. I'm sure things are considered and I leave it too Hans and his GC. I really can't interfere here. But even if we do switch venues, holland is so small that it won't much difference in your travel plans anyway. Ijsselmeer is only 30 km away for example. Wouter

Posts: 221 Netherlands | Further info about the Global Challenge will follow also ofcourse on the website. To sail on the Northsea is always a challenge and as Wouter told the most common wind direction is South West and this will give not to much problems because you can sail halfwind through the surf. The wind strength is mostly the biggest problem on the water it self because of the waves. The reason why he event is planned in this period of the year is that the water is at a good temperature and the storms and strong winds are not that common in August. Ofcourse this is one of the elements we can not control but from the past we no this is the best time of the year, one of the reasons why the REM race is sailed in this period (see website of the club). When you have a look at the club website ( http://www.wvzandvoort.nl) you get an idea how the club looks and there is also a webcam on the page where you can see how the conditions are now. | | | Re: Zandvoort Global Challenge 2007

am always very keen to check out the scenery when travelling in OZ. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Maybe it's time I broadened my horizons, the seaside scenery in Zandvoort sounds very attractive <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />.

Paul I've just looked at the Stena Line website and they currently have a promotion on for day-time sailings. It might be more expensive at the beginning of August, but that price is in the right ballpark for a DAY sailing in 2006. Overnight will be more expensive, as no doubt will be next year given the price of fuel, but no-idea how much as they currrently are showing zero availibility for 2007 !

The first thing that came to my mind was to ship my boat there, then down to Spain, and sell it! Buy a new Blade when I get home.
Thoughts and comments would be appreciated. Mark's suggestion of ordering a Stealth, sailing it at Zandvoort and shipping home afterwards seems quite a good one. It used to happen all the time in the Olympic classes in the 80's. A cheap way of getting an overseas boat imported. In practical terms though, what makes you think it would be 'easy' to sell your Blade in Spain? Many of the more established classes - both mono and cats have a thriving post-championship market and I've even been to events where I know that the 'favourites' boat(s) are already pre-sold for delivery after the event! I don't think this is the stage we are at in F16 - yet! Another option to consider - there may be a container to come from Oz. IF the Cap F16 is ready AND someone wants one, delivery to Zandvoort would be ideal. The boat could then be shipped back to wherever in the container with the other boats. Of course, it doesn't just apply to the Capricorn, you could just as easily apply the principle to any of the designs. I'm sure Matt/Hans could arrange for new Blades in the US container, or JP could deliver new Stealths to Holland. A 'worlds' is and always has been a great opportunity for upgrading/replacing boats and gear.

Well, it doesn't have to be a "boys" week away to her. I mean Zandvoort is right smack in the centre of the Rimcity as well the ring of cities that have almost fused together in the west of the Netherlands. There is the Frans Hals (Dutch 17th century painter) museum and the Typer Museum (oldest museum in Holland) in Haarlem (10 km away), Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam (20 km away) and a score of other interesting sites there plus big shopping streets. Then of course the Hague is only 25 km south of Zandvoort and Rotterdam (architecture) is fartest but still close at 50 km. Then the Zandvoort dune area is one of the more pretty dune area's in the Netherlands and bicycles are easy and cheap to rent. You can cycle in these protected area's for miles and miles. Then of course Zandvoort has a large Casino just a single km away from the beach catamaran club house; you can walk to it. I think there is enough to do when hubby is going sailing. Unless she really wants you there with her when she does these things. Wouter

At this years Nations Cup Bart brought his Stealth over from Holland but sailed with Gert. Therefore, if Bart is going to sail with Gert next year then you might need some good medicine for that irritating cough that you have developed.

With me being 85 kg that is on the heavy side for my Taipan "rip off". (85 + 77 kg = 162 kg)
Thanks for the answer

Details of the planned week of racing and entertainments will be published there. Also there is a link to an entry form in Word format that we would like people to complete so that we can get an idea of likely numbers of competitors. On the form you can indicate whether you will be definitely attending/thinking about it. Please be totally honest about this so that we can get a reasonably accurate feel for what is required to make the week work. If you may be sailing 2-up rather than solo, but don't definitely have a crew please indicate this with either 'TBA' if you will arrange your own crew, or 'crew required' if you would like us to link you up with someone. If the latter case applies then it would be useful if you could indicate somewhere on the form what your weight as helm is. If you want to race, but don't have a boat and wish to crew, please fill in the form accordingly. If you wish to race but need to charter a boat, again fill in the form and we will see what we can do. No promises though!!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Thanks.

Are you thinking of posters or some kind of publicity-mail ? I could send it to our clubs here. We have some Spitfires and 1 Stealth I believe.
Regards, Gill I am currently working on that. It will be done this comming week - midweek. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> | | |
