Practice Race the details (11-07-2009)

start: 13:00 - windspeed: 12 knots - true wind angle: 270° - distance 1,3 nm - tide: slack

About 36 boats at the start line. The Boskalis Team was complete including De Koning and Visser Thijs, current world champions.

Most of the teams were out there to try out the new surroundings and get the feeling of their competitors. It took 3 starts to get everyone over the line just right. That's why they call it a practice race right?!
