19 November 2017: Heavy waves at Flauwe Werk
Saterday 25 November 2017
Good WNW predicted, perfect for the Grevelingendam, wind was less then predicted, I was persuaded to Flauwe Werk. Attempt to sail with the JP FSW 84 with 25cm Freewave and 10cm thrusters. That did not go that easily. Looking back, the wind direction was not good at all for Flauwe Werk. Happy to have sailed a bit at Brouwersdam after that. [Read...]

07 October 2017: Slalom training in the rain
Wednesday 11 October 2017
A day of slalom training at Herkingen with Jurjen. Took the iSonic 101 with Warp 7.0 en Boss 37.5cm fin, perfect for today. Great conditions for gybe training. The Boss gybes really easily, especially on flat water every gybe is a planing gybe. In chop it takes a little bit more commitment, but still easy. Too bad for the rain today, for the rest great day on the water. [Read...]
