After four races in the qualifying series at the F18 World Championships in Belgium, Misha Heemskerk and Bastiaan Tentij of the Netherlands, sailing 1,2 today and are tied in the lead with Jean-Christophe Mourniac and Alexandre Guyader of France. Francois Morvan and Mathiue (FRA) are third De Koning and Visser (NED) the first day leaders are now fourth.

Rob Wildon and Marcus Lynch (GBR) are now in sixth place after a last race win and back in eighth place is former F18 World Champion Australian Glenn Ashby, sailing with Will Howden, in the absence of the regular F18 and Tornado helmsman Darren Bundock who is sidelined with a ACL tear.

Wednesday 15th July - Today starts off as a great racing day. Force 3 to 4 SSW, sunny weather and favourable sea. Races start on schedule. At 10am we have the first start. It's earlier than yesterday because we want to catch up from 'the non-racing yesterday'. They only need one general recall for the first fleet, two general recalls for the second fleet. As Don Findlay says; it always seems to be the second group that causes trouble.

But then the wind starts to increase. It's blowing 20 knots with gusts of 25 knots. Although on the beach it doesn't seem so bad we have 16 knots, out there it's not easy.

Some start capsizing. At the start of the second race wind is blowing up to force 6 with gusts. The sea roughens along with the wind. White caps are dancing on the sea.

This is a World Cup and requires high level of skills. Gusting wind and many boats on the water, capsized or not, require the competitors to stay focused 100%.

Quite a lot of people come back. They abandon the race because there is too much wind for them. Most of them consider their options. Some are already sure that they will be in the Silver Fleet. And so they think it's not worth the tough exercise. Others just feel this is out of their league and come back.

As the day proceeds and the wind increases more and more boats come in with damages. We see broken rudders, broken tiller sticks, broken trapeze harnesses, broken dagger boards, broken sail battons, torn mainsails or gennakers. Most of these problems could be solved quite quickly and they went back out on the water.

Sadly we also had teams with bad luck. Mostly during capsizing or pitch poling their mast came down or bended in two. The security boats pulled them to the side.

The rescue teams were full hands on deck. We had 14 power boats on the water today. And two press boats. Normally we have our buoy droppers that stay next to their buoy. But they came into full action as well. Sebbe, coach of our youth team also joined the rescue team. Even one of the competitors, Mathieu Cardinael, who decided to quit the races earlier joined them. Normally he is rescue boat in the other beachclub, RBSC Zoute.

They helped with expertise and quickness. We had wind gusts of 28 knots. One tricky wind gust played domino with the competitors and one after the other capsized. They helped the boats upright, they put people back on their boats and towed the big problems back in. Thanks to them there were no major incidents. Our jeeps also went to the rescue. A few people stranded on other beaches further out. The Jeep Boys went to their rescue and towed them back.

The wind kept increasing even to a force 7 at certain points. The World Cup was turning into an extreme race. A little later (3pm) the racing committee wisely delayed the race and sent everyone back to the shore. Half an hour later when everyone was back they officially cancelled all races for the day. Good decision because the wind increased even more.

The echoes we heard from sailors coming back to the shore were interesting. The youngsters were impressed, some found it cool, 'muscl?', 'waw'. They were proud that they could finish one or two races without to many problems. The masters (yes we even have some 60 plus sailors!) were more shaken and washed out. But they were also impressed by themselves 'not bad for an oldie'. They have some pretty impressive stories to tell their children and grand children. Mitch and Mouniac finished with just one dagger board.

Everyone agreed though that they compensated more than enough for their lazy day yesterday! They deserve a good beer and dinner tonight.
