Full Throttle in Medemblik and Muiden!

​We had some fantastic training days this weekend! Focused on speed and progress by constantly learning from each other! ​Saturday: Intensive speed training in Medemblik with two boats. ​Sunday fleet racing in Muiden.
​We are determined to set the bar even higher next year!

Our first Dublin Match Cup 🇮🇪 (part of the World Match Racing Tour) is in the books!

The round Robin was tough, but we fought our way back in the repechage round. In the quarter-finals we faced Aurélien Pierroz’s team and lost 2–1 after a nail-biting series. We managed to draw the score, separated by just a few centimeters at the finish line! But in the end it was not enough and we were knocked out in the quarter finals.

With no wind on the final day, the King of the Castle for places 5–8 couldn’t be sailed, so our result remained 8th place.

An amazing venue, strong opponents, and plenty of lessons learned. We’ll be back next year, ready for a revanche! ⚡️⛵️

Many thanks to the organization Irish Match Racing for this well organized event and special thank you and shout out to Ruairi Finnegan for all the efforts organizing this event and arranging hosts to stay during the event!🙏🏼

Many thanks to Buitenhuis Advies for helping us on our journey!

NJK Open Spring Cup - Petit Final

Every journey has its end. The third and final day of the NJK Open Spring Cup in Helsinki marks the close of our Scandinavian adventure on the World Match Racing Tour. We look back satisfied by our progress, even though we had hoped to qualify for the Swedish Match Cup and medal in Helsinki.

The final day began with waiting for other matches to finish, but we eventually got back on the water for our last three matches. We fought hard and earned our spot in the petit final against the strong Polish team. After a tight start, they found the right shift and managed to slip ahead at the top mark. Congrats to Patryk Zbroja Yacht Racing Team on 3rd place, to Hamilton for taking silver, and to Med Racing on the win!

A massive thank you to NJK Nyländska Jaktklubben for putting on such a well-run and enjoyable event. The hospitality, racing, and competition were top class.

We're heading home with new lessons, stronger teamwork, and even more motivation as we look ahead to the next event in Ledro, Italy.
