Dutch "Muiderzand" Foil Fest !

Reading all the great stories of the Foil Fest in Spain we decided to rename our Benelux Championship event to the "Muiderzand foil fest"*. This will be held from 12-13 June and competitors from outside of the benelux are more then welcome.
We in this case are the Benelux moth association, with Hans Wust and myself as committee members and chaired by Koos Winnips.

Firstly it was planned at 'hellevoetsluis', however we managed an excellent other location. As we will be sailing from Muiderzand which is situated at IJsselmeer, (http://tinyurl.com/24gwdu7) Here we will have a great place to launch. This place is a commercial Marina and normally one has to pay to for using the facilities, also during regattas. However due to the efforts of Roeland of Sail-today.nl we do not have to pay for this.

Saturday we plan to start with a training and end the day with a slalom race. Sunday will be filled with a lot of short races for the "Muiderzand Foil Fest" Tropy. If the weather gods will provide us with a decent breeze it will become a great event. Hopefully we can share technique, methods and laughters and ensure that the Benelux fleet will improve again.
