Regatta Vlissingen-Blankenberge
 

The yearly Flussing Blankenberge regatta is a friendly race in 2 categories.
 

Roughly 35 yachts take part in this race, all gathering in the inner harbor of Vlissingen, marina “De Schelde” . Here debriefing (palaver) is held on Saturday morning. Hereafter all yachts gather in the sea-lock for the opening to the Westerschelde.
 

Each category starts and sails according to the predefined trajectory (“baan”) to the finish.
It is particularly challenging and exciting to deal with prevailing tidal currents, sea ships and Zeebrugge sea-port to pass. It is a coastal trip.
 

The Belgium rating (handicap) system is used to determine the final results.
