(Brassermermeer, The Netherlands)- The J/22 class in Europe has
exhibited an extraordinary perseverance to hang tough and enjoy the
camaraderie that comes with sailing a fun boat that is easy to trailer
around the continent.By far, the most popular J/22 series is hosted by the Dutch J/22 class on the famous Brassermermeer Lake. Ten boats from France, Germany, and the Netherlands are participating in the 2018/ 2019 Winter Series.
In the first regatta, it was FRA 1444 (Brockerhoof, Michaux, Declercq) that are leading the series on a tie-breaker over the Dutch team of NED 1295 (Liselotte Verdoorn, Jan Dirk, Anneloes Rosemarijn). Remarkably, these two teams are dominating the top of the leaderboard with a combined six 1sts, six 2nds, and four 3rds.
Third is another Dutch crew on NED 1223, led by woman helm Suzanne van Iterson, with crew of Frans, Suzanne, and Anne. They won the first race, but followed it with a 4-3-2-2-3-5-4 in eight races scored so far. For more Dutch J/22 Winter Series sailing information Add to Flipboard Magazine.
