| International Easter Optimist Regatta - A long day on the water |
| ROELOFARENDSVEEN, NETHERLANDS-(26-3-2005) The first official racing day of the Magic Marine Easter Regatta had 3 races scheduled, but due to the light winds it became a tough day. First race started in light stable winds but during the second race the wind shifted a lot, still being about 5 knots. In both first races the pack came in closely, resulting in some photo finishes. Race 3 brought some sunny spells but more shifting winds. This and a lot of black flags made it a long day on the water after which all competitors enjoyed the dinner at the yacht club very much. On Sunday we will have the two scheduled races, the first one to start at 10:00hrs. Please check out the event website www.braassemermeer.nl for preliminary results.
Yacht club Braassemermeer (Roelofarendsveen) is a Yacht club with a keen interest in training and racing both nationally and internationally. The 87-year-old club has about 900 members (some of them even winners of the Volvo Ocean Race and the America’s Cup) and excellent facilities like a splendid clubhouse with a grand view over the lake and a modern harbour equipped with all means necessary. In July 2005 YC Braassemermeer will organise the J/22 Worlds (on the IJsselmeer, off Medemblik). More information about the Yacht club and the event can be found at www.braassemermeer.nl
