“Great weather, great racing and relaxt atmosphere at the beach
This weekend the yearly Dutch coast sailing event took place at the beautiful beaches of Wassenaar, The Netherlands.
Several top F18 teams decided to go for this event in Wassenaar for their last test before the F18 Worlds next week. Darren Bundock sailing with Cas van Oort took 1st place in front of team Heemskerk & Tentij.

Victory was only decided in the 2 last races sinds Bundock & van Oort took 2 bullets to overtake Heemskerk & Tentij in light to medium airs and a calm sea”. C2 Photo by Ruud@NikonCkub

“The Kustzeilverening Wassenaar (KZVW = Coast sailing association Wassenaar in English) (www.kzvw.nl) is a catamaran sailing and beach club on the on Dutch coast at Wassenaar just north of The Hague.
The “Kustzeilevenement” is a yearly regatta which is organized by a different club on the Dutch coast every year. This year was our turn to organize the event. We wanted good quality racing and a really easy going, relaxed event with a nice beach atmosphere and we succeeded with quite a bit of help from the beautiful weather.
We organized the event with a team from the KZVW. Robert Frentzen is the chairman of the organizing committee and a F18 (Tiger, maybe a Wildcat soon) sailor .

This year we included for the first time for this event Laser class races, and youth class races on Hobie Dragoons, seven very enthusiastic participant, really fun to watch. The event was sailed on Saturday and Sunday, with a great Nacra sponsored barbeque on Saturday evening. Altogether we had 78 boats on the water in different classes.”
