Event 4 – Houten Solo Cup, Giesbeek In August we celebrated the craftsmanship of the class with the dedicated Wooden Solo Cup in Giesbeek. Eight wooden Solos took part. A small but passionate fleet. The winds were shifty, heavily influenced by the nearby Posbank hills. Sijbrand Jongejans handled these conditions superbly and took the overall win, with Peter Jansen finishing second and Ed van Dalen (sailing Jan Arends’ wooden Solo) closing the podium. A relaxed and friendly event, showing that the Solo’s heritage is alive and well.

Event 5 – Randmeer Race, Biddinghuizen The Randmeer Race once again delivered its trademark unpredictability. Early Saturday, Jelmer took the first win with characteristic calmness. Race two, however, completely reshu ffl ed the deck: a massive shift allowed Roel de Herder to round the first mark in front. A position he impressively defended all the way. Sunday’s three races were lively and close. In the end Jan Pieter Braam claimed the overall victory thanks to a consistent Sunday performance, with Jelmer second and myself completing the top three.
