Medemblik - All participants for the Gaastra Dragon Worlds have arrived in Medemblik. Last two days, the participants had to register their teams, measure their boats and sails, and all teams had to be weighted in. The practice race of Saturday the 5th had been cancelled due to stormy weather. The Regatta Center was a nice hang out and get together place for all participants. The opening ceremony will take place tonight at the Radboud Castle in Medemblik. The organization is looking forward to a great opening and nice start of the event. Tomorrow the warning signal for the first race will be at 13.00 hours.
