Dutch Boy
Is that a roller-furling jib, Leo, or are you just happy to see me?
Leo Voorneveld A Dutchman trying to do the top of singlehanded sailing.
My ultimate goal is to sail the Vendee Globe.This goal can go in different stages;
Just a general oversight of some races I want to do.The Mini Transat
This 21 ft boat that races accross the Atlantic is one of the most daring singlehanded races there is. If you still like sailing singlehanded afterwards you can call yourself a “real” singlehander.The Ostar
The singlehanded race across the North Atlantic. This race is a bit different, the goal is to get used to the higher latitudes, you have to dodge icebergs and fog. If you can do this and still like it maybe you are up to the screaming 50´s of the Southern Oceans ?????The Around Alone
This race is already around the world but with four stops. A great oppertunity to test the boat and the sailor. And it is a highly contested title to.Then the top, the Vendee Globe itself.
The grueling race around the world non stop and alone !!!Shall I reach this goal ???
