Posts: 9,582 North-West Europe | On what day will you two be arriving at Zandvoort Gill ?
I'm told a few others will already be out and test sailing their boats on thursday and friday. I expect the Vipers to be test sailed earlier that week as well.
Of course officially everything starts on friday and I'll join the club no sooner then wednesday because of an exam I have on tuesday.

Pics of each boat and the setup would be good to see. Who has what set up and why. And launching thru the surf if it's windy - it will be worth taking pics.

Yesterday we made the first preparations for the event. We decorated the bouys with the sponsor banners and gave our racing equipment another check. Today we'll have a club race to test everything. Sponsor flags are also flying high in our flagpoles and the F16 sailors are tweaking the last bits on their boats.
But more importantly we are all on our knees praying that the current weather pattern stays. Alot of sun shine, force 4 winds and relatively flat water. We had been without that for 4 months !
I say things are heating up !

My booze collection has significantly decreased over time.
Pretty much friends have gotten families with little children and well ... those were the days.
But I think we can find you some rum somewhere.
I haven't moved either, but I'm not too sure that that is a good thing.
By this time in my life I should have owned a mansion, with a sports car in the garage, a boat on the dock and matching hotties on the deck.
But fool that I was I went for intelligence and character. Now I go neither !
