At the Kiel entry list there are 35 entries at this moment. Would be nice to top 40 entries (entry form click here). For the once who have been there they now what they get. For the once never been there. It’s a fantastic week of sailing and lot’s of fun at the venue place. And it’s even more fun to visit the city of Kiel one night and enjoy the tall-ships and fantastic atmosphere. Kielerwoche is still the biggest sailing event in the worlds, that should mean something to you. Entries so far.

After sending an email to the biggest Dutch newspaper our VP Communications discovered today that they have published the news of the NED-26 becoming World Champion ……

” De Telegraaf “ 

Enno Kramer and Ard Geelkerken are the new World Champions. They won race 8 and had a 2 point disadvantage with DEN-21. But at the start of the 9th race the DEN-21 had to concede while given a black flag penalty. The DEN-21 couldn’t afford this mistake anymore given a BFD-penalty and a 16 place scoring, after a collision caused by the HUN-70. The constant scoring in racing of the NED-26 over the total event this was enough after 8 races. And they will win the silver sombrero as well ……. more later
