MR360° EXCLUSIVE LELYSTAD


PLENTY OF SPACE: Lelystad has 3,000 berths available for the numerous visitors who flock to the venue. Van Diest’s thoughts on...


An academy Tis plan is still developing. Te sailing academy


we developed will use the sport of sailing to help young people to develop themselves in to high potentials, the new entrepreneurs and leaders as far as we are concerned. It takes a lot of special skills to be a top sailor. Te sailing academy will be, must be, a cooperation


between Batavia Sailing Centre, schools, university and in our case the city of Lelystad and the Province. I am convinced that the tour and their organization would


give a big boost to the sailing academy worldwide as the sport is becoming more international every day. Students from the academy will be able to follow parts of their education from other places in the world. AMWRT is taking part in developing a worldwide academy which will make a big difference in realising the academy.


A Dutch team challenging for honours on the AWMRT


Team Feitsma and Den Boer Racing, the highest placed


BIG DREAMS: Van Diest is confident Lelystad will make a perfect venue for a leg of the Alpari World Match Racing Tour.


Dutch match racing teams on the international ranking list, started a special training program at Batavia Sailing Center. Teir goal is to become part of the World Match Racing Tour as soon as possible. Batavia Sailing Center provides themwith boats (BLU26 like in St Moritz), trainers and other facilities. At this moment these teams will battle in the coming months to improve their skills, their teams and results. Tey take part in various grade 3 and grade 2 events. Only the best will enter the Alpari World Match Racing Tour and will give the tour card holders a good competition.
