The competition attracted 27 boats from seven countries, with strong representations from Norway, France, Ireland, and, of course, Belgium. Our club members performed excellently: Tom Florizoone (Red Cloud), Jan-Jacob Muyls (Farther Bruyn), Ian Van Burm (Fantasy), Thibaut Martin (Spip), Thomas Janquart (Big Picture), and Winnie Berteloot (SeaYou3) proudly defended the KYCN burgee.
Notably, there was strong participation from women's teams, including the Belgian A+ led by Ann Callens and the Norwegian Midnight X, manned by an all-female crew. These teams delivered impressive performances and showcased the diversity and inclusivity of the sport of sailing.
