GBR and GER Looking Good in Hobie 16 Europeans

Multi Europeans Hobie Cat

Katwijk

The Hobie 16 Youth Championship was won by Germany's Hauke and Lauritz Bockelmann, the women's championship by Great Britain's Ellen Forshaw and Martine Landman.

Local favourites Rob Heilbron and Marjan van Oeveren took the Master's Championship.

Taking the Dragoon class overall was the British team of Tom Phipps and Jonathan Cook. The Dragoon was designed to meet the FFV (Fédération Française de Voile) requirements for learning and competing, in the category 'Minimes' (12-14 yrs) on a catamaran.

Conditions have varied wildly this week: almost no wind yesterday, followed by strong winds and torrential downpours today. Racing in the 14, 16, Tiger, FX-One and Fox continues through Saturday.
