Following the Europeans, we had decided to compete in the first week of September at the ISAF Worlds Test Event being held in Santander. This event next year will provide the first opportunity to teams to qualify for the Olympic Games!
Unfortunatly, due to an injury to Nat's wrist which had not yet properly healed since the Worlds, the decision was made that Mati would instead compete with an other crew to allow Nat to fully recover and for Mati to gain valuable experience of the sailing area.
We have decided to continue training in Santander until December with our training partners Iker Martinez/Tara Pacheco to gain extra experience here.
Here are some photos of our Coach Sebbe Godefroid from our first block of training in wonderful 8-12knots seabreezes and in some more testing winds of up to 25knots and huge waves!
