Windy on A-Class Dutch Championships in Hellevoetsluis.
Friday, August 27 came up over 40 A-Cats at the start of the Dutch Championship, including European Champion Bob Baier, former Dutch champion Matthias Dietz, Swiss Champion Chris Field and many others. Regatta-officer Menno Vercouteren planned 4 races to sail on a windy Friday (16-24 knots), after which the provisional ranking was Chris Field on a DNA in the lead, Bob Baier on an Nikita second and third Sjoerd Hoekstra on a Tool. These leaders sailed all with curved boards, so straight boards belong to the past in A-class history..
Saturday morning there was possibly even more wind than Friday, so after one race was decided to return to shore. The fifth race was won by Chris Field, who is probably the new Dutch champion.
