The weather gods threw a spanner into the works last weekend for the J/22 Cooling Down Regatta, the last event of the season for the J/22 class in The Netherlands.

On Saturday, a strong wind, with peaks to 35 knots, forced the sailors to stay ashore in order to prevent damage to their boats. However, as the sailors woke up on Sunday, it was still windy, but the weather was fantastic for sailing. After four races, it was fun to chat and drink in the clubhouse after four very tight races amongst the leaderboard.

Winning was the visiting German GER 1390 team comprised of skipper Holger Schmitt and crew of Sabine Schoenfeldt and Thomas Hanf with a record of 3-5-1-2 for 11 pts. Taking second just one point shy was the NED 1595 Dutch team of Ivo Jeukens and Steyn Schiltkamp with a 2-2-5-3 record for 12 pts. Third on the podium was another Dutch crew, NED 1295 sailed by Liselotte Verdoorn and crew of Anneloes Krikhaar and Dirk Jan Verkampf.
