Coen and Thijs puching hard in every regatta, the pair seems really focused to regain their crown at Hungary.

Mitch Booth leading the F20C series:
‘I am too old for this”, says Mitch Booth with a smile. He watches the action on the North Sea, but dressed in wall clothes and with dry hair. ‘Let’s say we are preserving the boat for the rest of the week, or is it the helm?” He didn’t race today, but the runners up Xander Pols and Sascha Larsen did. Pols: ‘We could double the rest of the fleet. I think we were the only one who hoisted the spinnaker. It was pretty extreme. The waves broke at the top mark. The main reason why we went out today, is to test the boat in these conditions. We wanted to know whether the Nacra 20 performs in stronger wind as well and she does.” Booth and Witteveen are still leading, followed by Pols and Larsen.
