Team OCEAN RACE Experience

The legendary North Sea Offshore 'Veronica' Race returns one more time. During 2021 Deltaweekend we sail the probably most notorious Dutch yacht race once more.

The early editions of the race took 3 days of sailing towards the illegal pirate radio ship ‘Veronica’ and back. Today, the race starts in front of the Oosterschelde Bridge. We sail towards the (former) illegal broadcasting ship ‘Veronica’, rounding it and sailing back to Zeeland, rounding Lightvessel Goeree as well.

In 1992 the conditions were beyond tough. In the upwind leg towards ‘Westhinder’ winds increased to extreme levels, with ditto waves. Most teams retired. Only 2 teams managed to finish. The bowman of the winning yacht ‘Foxy’ even had to climb the mast to cut the spinnaker halyard, prior to finishing this devastating race. The bowman - Piet van Nieuwenhuizen - later became known as a bowman in America’s Cup team Alinghi!
