Mischa Heemskerk aside being one of the top notch catsailors of all time,  is also such a great character & innovator. After several attempts to win the Texel Blue Ribbon with his custom modified Marstrom 20, Mischa finally grabbed the first place real & corrected time in this 2017 Round Texel Edition.

The detail is he won with 3 sailors onboard…! The M20 this time also featured a Decksweeper added to already custom equipped  TNZ J boards. Decksweeper for Foilers will become a defacto option, a design alternative super proven by now. On the floaters still in devel, Brewin got some good resutls at F18 Nats witht the Scorpion in January,  and check yet another Scorpion shot above  equipped with prototype sails by Mischa and sailed by Pieter Oskam & Tony Mels. Tony reports some excellent speed upwind and some time needed to adapt for crew for tacking and gybing.

The Decksweeper sail is key to note, as the F20FCS or the Vampire M20 were using it.
Heemskerk, Zanen & Houwing sailing the M20 winning Time was 2:57:29

2nd place for  Xander Pols & Stefan Dubbeldam on a Nacra F20FCS and third for William Sunnucks & Mark Self on the other heavily modified and custom equipped foiling Vampire M20.

4th overall real time / 2nd corrected and first F18 were Jolbert van Dijk & Frank de Waard, who after a tough capsize past week they managed to put the Nacra Infusion back together to finish only 6mins later than Sunnucks M20 foiler.

Simon Northrop & Sam Barker had a another good performance on their Infusion / Hyde Sails finishing 4th overall real time at 3:22:35. They also won the toplenzen Texel Dutch Open  with 5 bullets.  TDO Results here

Jolbert , Frank & Simon are on a mission for Denmark F18 Worlds 2017 –

On corrected Time Mischa first,  guess on the 3 crews handicap as F20FCS payed too much for ie, second for Jolbert & Frank on the Infusion F18 and third for Duijndam & Steenvoorden on a Hobie 16.
