Round Texel 2014l Crown for Nicole van der Velden & Thijs Visser


Image Sander van der Borch. Great to see Thijs and Nicole winning the major Cat regatta Word Wide. Thijs has a tough time this year when he was left out of the Dutch Olympic team. He didn´t stayed put and went forward looking for a chance to sail in Rio. With Nicole van der Velden they start racing under Aruba colors.
This weekend they won the overall first place of the Round Texel 2014.

Congrats Thijs & Nicole for keeping your dreams alive.

    What program did you use to create these rendered models? Would it be possible to get a sketchup model of them? Also, are the AC45's going to foil for the 35th AC?

  4. catsailingnews says:

    Hi Robert, made in Maxsurf with Sketchup renders,
    45s still floating, we'll see if they modified them.

    Would it be possible to get the sketchup renders? I'm interested in building a 1:25 and a 1:87 scale model (personal collection, not for sale).
