RACE OF THE CLASSICS – IPSWICH – THE BOATS
We met Lennart Harmelink and Dick Stevens this weekend at Ipswich Marina. They are a part of the volunteer team that organises THE RACE OF THE CLASSICS for a great group of dutch university students.
The adventure, on the nineteen Tall Ships, sees the students sailing across the North Sea from Holland to Ipswich and back in these wonderful boats. Christiane and I took some pictures and video of their stop-over.
Here is a slideshow Christiane made with some of her photos showing the beauty of the boats. For more information on the event see www.rotc.nl
It was great to meet the guys and it looked like a super event with a brilliant vibe.

Hi, I sailed with one of the ships and I live in Ipswich, I work for a dutch owned company who flew me over to Holland to take part. It was a great event but sadly the race was called off on the way back as there was no winds, the engines had to be used to get back to Holland, I had a great time and can send some pictures if you want some
