THE WAY IT STARTED
By Peter Norlin / 2.4 Designer Sweden

In August 1979, I was sitting on the deck. We were sailing Admirals cup in Cowes, when a very small boat was sailing around the moorings of the Cowes Week racing yachts. This was the first time anyone had seen such a little boat. The helmsman a young German guy was sitting inside the boat, and only the head was seen in the cockpit. He was the founder of this type of boat.

 Antwerp City Cup 2018

It was a great season finale. Varying winds, gave all a chance to shine. The GBR sailors turned in very good overall results. We sailed the event in memory and celebration of Eric, who we will all miss greatly.

Dutch Nationals 2018

Congratulations to Meg on her win in Amsterdam. We had some lovely Sailing and I might of even had a win... if only I’ d read the race instructions properly... The social side was fun too. A group of us ventured into the restaurant area of downtown Amsterdam and had a lovely meal out. We explored the delights of Amsterdam public transport... for wheels users the Metro wins over the tram.. Thanks to Dirk and the  whole team at VW De Kroenen for putting on a great event and keeping fed and watered (although there was considerable beer and wine too).
