On Sunday morning Joost and Ko left with the boat before the rest, the others arrived on Tuesday evening. Wednesday till Friday was spent with trainings together with the other Dutch entrant vanUden TUDelft and some French mumm30's.

Saturday we sailed three upwind downwind races in moderate to light conditions. The first race we came 13^th a few places in front of the vanUden TUDelft.

The second race we finished in the top ten, but we were disqualified because of an infringements at the downwind buoy. Sadly the same happened with our 17^th place in the third race.

Sunday we started with a very shifty light wind race which we finished 6^th because of a great tactic call by Pierre. To our big surprise the second race of that day was an offshore. Because of the light wind the positions shuffled several times. We went from almost last to fourth, and finished 12^th in the end. VanUden TUDelft had a hard race and went from a top ten placing to almost last. The last race they recovered to a fifth finish place, we came in 12^th.

The last day the weather was very difficult due to some severe showers. The wind went from zero to twenty knots in ten minutes. The first race we finished in the middle, but vanUden TUDelft got some bad shifts and came in last, the last race was vice versa.

We are quite satisfied with our overall performance, although we ended 22^th overall due to the two DSQ's. We were able to hold our position in the middle field and score some top ten placing.

VanUden TUdelft scored a 15^th place overall, but on the water we did sail a draw at 4-4.
