(machine translated in 2023) The Mission Final Edition - 2nd day

Sunday less wind, all day with GT85 and 9.5 sailed.

Heat 1
Start was pretty good, I could have crossed the line a little earlier, was a few seconds late. Heat went well, everything planned. The No. 1 was quickly far away. I've been right behind Loop (Alex van der Meer) all the time, I can't catch up with Alex anymore:3rd

Heat 2
Super start, plan immediately. Boy in front of me flew away and I didn't see anymore, boy behind me I could stay just ahead, was always exciting at every buoy, I planned away faster after the Gybe, he was faster and faster in the gybe. But I stayed ahead of him.2nd

No Final
After the heats I was 11th. So bring on that Finale, I could still make some pictures right. But since at the Final of the Boys (the final for us) it looked more like a National Championship and they had to start 3 times, we were allowed to start late and when we were waiting the message came, too weining wind we stop. The whole field stepped up and planned away... We should have just sailed that heat. Unfortunately, unfortunately.

So I was stuck in 11th place. I'm happy with it though. If I hadn't started the first heat falsely and there had been a good count in heat 3, I would easily have been 5th or something. All in all a nice weekend, and oh well it's a fun event, so I'm not going to make a big deal out of it, I've had a lot of Fun.

Since I didn't have to hand in my vest myself but went home "early".

Herman, thank you, thank you for this year, everything was well arranged again. Getting 320+ participants on the water is a daunting task. But thank you especially for 7 years of The Mission, it was a great event 7 times. I'm glad I did all 7 times. Thank you, thank you thank you.
