Photos
Time to offer you some good photo shots from our new and beautiful catamaran. First pictures are from the delivery on the beach and the putting together by Gill, his father and myself. Afterwards the first pictures from on the water. Many will follow... How beautiful! :-)

Nice summer weather in September!
They predict some nice weather for this weekend. And, fantastic news, this weekend we will be sailing the club championship in Heist. Be there! You can come to support us or to sail ofcourse! Inscriptions trough www.vvwheist.be.
Will Bart Tytgat become - for the 3rd year in a row - the club champion? Who will tell. We certainly have the intention to become next years heroes ;-)

Club championship
Somewhere a message is gone missing. So hereby a repost.
At the moment we do not have a boat, but still we are present at the club. Last Saturday we went to support the other club teams for the club championship. I went with the start boat and Gill would sail along with a Hobycat Tiger. But... the wind let us down. Only 1 or 2 bft, and this was not enough to let the race go on. A pity!

WK Blade F16
My last post for today (I warned you guys, silence before the storm, hehe). We are registered for the World championship WK F16 catamaran next year in Zandvoort (Holland)! Very exciting! Normally the Worlds were planned to happen in Singapore but - fortunately for us participatin Europeans - they have changed it to Zandvoort.
In the week of the 15th August we will defend the Belgian title!
Wish us good luck :-)

Club championship 2
But good news :-)
The club championship has been postponed and we will be able to go sailing too.
Thanks to Michael, a member of our club, we will be sailing his FX One. That will be a nice experience, a new boat and a different brand. This Saturday we will be testing a Hobycat instead of a Nacra. I am very curious...
More news next week!

New boat!
The new boat has been orderd! Yoohoe!
Blade F16 here we come! The hulls will arrive from the States, so it will take a while before we have the boat with us. Probably somewhere mid November.
And we are convinced to go sailing immediately. Warm winter sailing clothes here we come :-)
