Mid Atlantic Meeting

August 31st, 2010 Robert Comments off

After the first “storm” (30 knots of wind) NED 602 met on August 20 2010 around midday, by accident with Max Havelaar, an Open 60 and one of the 4 accompanying boats on the Atlantic. About 200 pictures were taken by the Max Havelaar crew from a surfing NED 602. Though winds had dropped to 18 knots, with a little effort of the skipper, large surfs could still be made on the existing waves…. (click on photos for high-definition images).

Under “Gallery” and then page “Mid Atlantic Meeting with Max havelaar” a selection of these foto’s can be seen.

Another publication on the site of ClasseMini mentiones the start position of NED602. For those who can read French!

`Au départ du prologue, quelques concurrents montraient de belles dispositions, notamment Ryan Finn (252) premier à franchir la ligne ou bien encore Robert Rosenjacobson (NED 602) auteur d’un départ magistral en bout de ligne.`

Alone with steady winds. NED 602 4th Place in Horta!

The week before departure was hectic. I met my boat in disorder. The preparation and changes which should have been made had only for a part been started.
