Event	Date	Team	Highlights
Goese Sas Trophy 2009	19-20 September 2009	1. Mast&gen trim: Alexis 2. Pit: Thomas 3. Jib trim: Marc 4. Mainsail: Sander 5. Helm: Yorick	Excellent sailing in light wind conditions. Yorick did an excellent job at the helm.
Grevelingen Winter Cup 2009-2010	11 October 2009	1. Mast&gen trim: Alexis 2. Pit: Miguel 3. Jib trim: Wouter 4. Mainsail: Carlos 5. Helm: Thomas	Racing prematurely abandoned when the helmsman's head was severly hit by the boom when performing a 720 penalty only a few minutes after the first start. In Dutch we say "eigen schuld dikke bult".
J/80 Benelux 2009 Championship &   Grevelingen Winter Cup    2009-2010	6-7-8 November 2009	1. Mast&gen trim: Alexis 2. Pit: Thomas 3. Jib trim: Miguel 4. Mainsail: 2&5 5. Helm: Yorick	Very well organized by the racing committee. Many starts and many races. Pure fun!
Grevelingen Winter Cup    2009-2010	13 December 2009	1. Mast&gen trim: Alexis 2. Pit: Wouter 3. Jib trim: Miguel 4. Mainsail: 2&5 5. Helm: Thomas	The first time we sailed in this configuration. Much attention went to the handling, much less to tactics. We enjoyed the beautiful sailing conditions very much.
Grevelingen Winter Cup    2009-2010	17 January 2010	DNC	Skipper grounded by bad cold.
Grevelingen Winter Cup    2009-2010	7 February 2010	1. Mast&gen trim: Alexis 2. Pit&gen trim: Wouter 3. Jib trim: Miguel 4. Mainsail: Fleur 5. Helm: Thomas	Ice cold moist conditions in a light north easterly breeze under a grey foggy sky. Smooth highly enjoyable sailing in the back of the pack but still in close contact. The team was joined by Fleur at mainsail, she has a fine and delicate trim.  The fore guard is making excellent progress in boathandling. Next step is improving tactics and fine tuning boatspeed.
Grevelingen Winter Cup    2009-2010	14 March 2010	1. Mast&gen trim: Alexis 2. Pit&gen trim: Wouter 3. Jib trim: Miguel 4. Mainsail: Yorick 5. Helm: Thomas	WNW 3-4, some gusts. Good boatspeed, tactics ok but boathandling slowed us down, especially at the downwind mark when swift chute dousing was needed. For once we needed the knife to cut the starboard jib sheet which got completely stuck round the whinch.
