10th Dutch Dragoon Cup
(Hobie Dragoon, C3 youth and Nacra 15)
12th and 13th of October 2019
Veerse Meer – Wolphaartsdijk
THE EVENT
The Dutch Dragoon Cup is an educational and fun weekend, suitable for both starting and experienced youth sailors. The sailors are trained during the races to improve their racing skills. Time will be taken between races to evaluate their progress.
The competitions do have a ranking and prizes are awarded for both the Dragoon and the C3 class (Hobie 16, Hobie Max, SL16, Nacra 500 etc) as well as the C1 class (Nacra 15 etc). The normal competition rules apply to all competitors. Sailors and coaches are requested to particularly embrace learning to race, but always try to avoid incidents and protests. The parents can follow the races from the terrace of Catclub Zeeland . Parents who want to help can sign up for assistance (see below). All associations are invited to bring their own trainer (s) and private motorboat for coaching on the water. There is a headcoach available to coordinate everything. The Veerse Meer is very sheltered, so sailing is possible under almost all circumstances. Sailing is done directly in front of Catclub Zeeland.

The harbor behind the club has a public trailer ramp, where the motor boats can be launched. The boats sail 100 meters and can be pulled ashore in front of Catclub Zeeland, can be moored to anchors or can dock on a jetty.

All youth sailors and two supervisors per association sleep at De Kruitmolen www.kampeerboerderijdekruitmolen.nl. Beds are bare mattresses, bring further components yourself. 65 people can sleep inside, others are informed by us to bring a tent, air mattress and sleeping bag or sleep in the youth club at the location of Catclub Zeeland.
You are welcome from Friday evening. Price is € 20.00 p/p for this extra night. For the parents there are several beautiful places to spend the night, such as Veere, Middelburg and Wolphaartsdijk.
Welcome to Zeeland with discount, code “Dragoon” https://www.welcomeinzeeland.com/ or VVV Zeeland: https://www.vvvzeeland.nl/nl
LOCATION
The formal address to Catclub Zeeland is Muidenweg 221, 4471 NM, Wolphaartsdijk. However, it is difficult to find, because you cannot see the catamarans from the road. Therefore, study the picture https://g.co/maps/dag4w very carefully. There is a barrier in front of the club at the marking. Kanoa is housed in the harbor, the best landmark if you are driving along the Muidenweg.
Will the weather be nice again? The event itself certainly will be very nice!!!
If you want to contribute as an adult or older youth, you can of course do that as a volunteer. Then contact Guus Florusse: [email protected]
