The Dutch Open Championship took place on the Westeinder, Aalsmeer over the weekend of the 19 to 21 September. Definitely not easy for the sailors and committee, but beautiful weather with light and very shifty winds. Almost all the scheduled races were completed and a fair competition resulted for the 47 starters.

The racing opened with a win for Peter van Santen (NED) and then Peerke Kortekaas (NED) took race two. Race three went to Armand de la Rie (NED) then Andy Davis got on the Brits on the scoreboard with a win in race four.

Race five went to Robbie Wilson (GBR) recovering from a DNS and an OCS in the two previous races. Davis took second and Andy Fox (GBR) was third, while leading Dutchman, Kortekaas stayed in the hunt with a fifth and then took his second win in race six.

The final race Saturday went to Geoff Henstridge (GBR) with Mike Hobin (GBR) second and Rie coming back into contention with a third place finish.

After Saturday´s racing and seven races, Davis and Kortekaas were tied with 24 points followed by Rie with 28 points after one discard, the stakes were high.

Race eight went to Peter van Santen (NED) with Fox second and Jacques Metaal (NED) in third. Kortekaas had a tenth, Davis a fourth and Rie a seventh with everything up for grabs in the final race, with another discard in play.

Unfortunately both Davis and Rie ended up with an OCS in the final race on Sunday which gave Peerke Kortekaas the chance he needed and which he took with a final race win to become the Dutch National Solo Champion for 2008.

In second place overall was Andy Davis and in third place Armand de la Rie. Andy Fox took fourth, Chris Brown (GBR) fifth and Jacques Metall sixth.
