Not too bad for my first solo competition & my first every time at sea.
Might had done better if my mainsheet servo hadn't burnt out when a wire came detached at the end of the 6th race and made everything closed haul and just spun me round and round for 5+ minutes until the rescue boat got to me.
Result was, 1 stripped jib sheet, 1 burnt out main sheet motor, and I now know you can not capsize a Liberty.
I had the honour of raising the Hansa flag at the opening ceremony. <<<<< Watch here >>>>>
A week's overview of Holland. <<<<< Watch here >>>>>

Thank you all who put their faith in me and helped me get to this event. Especially all Rick's family and friends. Without you guys, I doubt I would had afforded to give it a go and experienced international, open water racing.
Thanks Rick, miss you my brother.

It took a good 15 - 20 minutes to sail from the harbour to the committee boat start line.
