12 footers at the Vintage Yachting Games 2018 Copenhagen - Overall

by Vincent Delany 22 Sep 2018 22:22 BST 16-22 September 2018

Unfortunately, the weather in Hellerup, near Copenhagen for the past two days has not been suitable for racing in small dinghies. However, event PRO Peter Stephensen Lubeck (DEN) was wise enough to predict this scenario, and doubled up the number of races on Thursday, and in so doing he achieved six good races of the original eight race series for the 12 Foot Dinghies.

As predicted by some 12 Foot Dinghy buffs, one or other of the two Bleeker brothers from the Netherlands was likely to rise to the top of this event which takes place every four years. After six good races it was Wim Bleeker (who was Dutch 12 Foot Dinghy champion of 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017) who won the Vintage Yachting Games 2018, in the largest class competing.

The other classes competing in this year's Vintage Yachting Games were the Soling and O-Jolle or Olympiajolle (which was a singlehander used for the 1936 Olympic games in Kiel, and still popular in Germany and Holland).

The venue for the games in four year's time has yet to be decided.
