F18 in Netherlands: 1st Season Racing & Change of Guard
The Dutch F18 Association had the first event of the season. With Oscar Zeekant and Karel Begeman 1st, now on a C2. Mischa Heemskerk and Bastian Tentij with the Cirrus R in 2nd place. And Veenman-de Waard 3rd on an Infusion.
Mischa has been elected this past weekend as the new president of the F18 Dutch Assoc, really a welcome addition for the F18 wc, having a person recognized by all sailors on always willing to help others, and of course his sailing and technical knowledge will be key input to the class.
Larsen and Franck had two bullets on the first two races, but dnc on the rest.
All preparations for the first ‘Major’ of the F18 Grand Slam will be held at Carnac this May, for the huge Eurocat regatta, more info later.
