Only a few hours left until the International Dutch Championship starts at the Sneekthe sea. 35 sailors are registered: 13 GER, 11 NED, 4 GBR, 2 BEL, 2 THE, 1 FRA, 1 IRL, 1 NZL. This is a truly international field with seven nations from Europe and one sailor from the South Pacific; NZL stands for New Zealand. Paul Francis comes from the Kerikeri Sailing Club in the very north of New Zealand's North Island.
We are already counting down the days and hours

The weather looks set to be challenging. Windy is showing the following picture today
The wind can gust up to 30 knots, and it's likely to rain most of the time. But of course, we won't let that stop us, especially since even Windy can be wrong.
In any case: See you soon!
