51 today and still learning


I spent a large part of this weekend's regatta perfectly placed to watch Jelmer van Beek sailing. [Ahum!]
Jelmer is a member of our club and probably Holland's fastest Laser 4.7 sailor. He's now moving up the Radial and is going to be one to watch.
There is so much to learn from watching someone that good - Jelmer trains four days a week and that is evident as you watch him move around the boat. Thanks for the lessons, Jelmer.
