KZ&RV Hollandia, Medemblik, May 3 – 5

Report by Andreas Pich.

The Spring Cup 2013 didn’t had a fleet as big as other years for two reasons, first and mainly the containers from the World Championship in Thailand did not arrive in time for the event, and second there was a well attended event at Lundeborg (DEN) where 32 competitors from northern europe competed.

Organisation of the event was perfect as always and there were conditions to suit everybody.

On Friday and Sunday winds were variable and light, with Tomasz Gaj, Andreas Pich and Simon Davis winning races.

Saturday was very windy with well over 20kn. All three races were won by Richard Burton.

Everybody enjoyed the time in Holland and the beer after racing tasted as well as ever.
