The leader of the WSV Almere team, Alex Hoeve, had the following comments, “We had a lot of wind. Occasionally even 20-25 knots. And everybody on our team was fine with that. I saw many exciting matches, and there are many tactical hazards out there. The performance level of all the teams has risen significantly.” For more Dutch J/70 Sailing League information, visit http://eredivisiezeilen.nl/.
