Nacra Open Challenger Cup 2020, F18 Fleet: First place for Hans & Marius van Dam

A relief seeing the fleets racing again in Europe. This weekend Nacra held the Nacra Open Challenger Cup, this edition inviting any brand to race with them. It was a good move, more in current times.

Many Classes participating like F18, A-Class, F20, F16 and Nacra 15. In the F18 Class Open Division Hans & Marius van Dam (Goodall C2/Goodall DS) won over the Pro and promising Nacra official Team of Jolbert van Dijk (3rd 2017 Worlds along Frank de Waard) and Stephan Dekker (World Champ 2017 along Mischa). The new assembled team sailed the as well new Nacra Evo F18 and we will see them contending for the World Title next year in Italy.

First real test for the Nacra Evo sailing against an experienced crew like the van Dams onboard the proven C2 and others. The new Nacra design has little room to do poorly in our view and surely it will progress with more hours for the crews on the water.

We don’t have complete results yet.
