Dunkerque

15/7-17/7 2024

Oostende-Dunkerque

  • 'Champagne-sailing' with the sails up all the way for a gentle breeze (4-5 m/s) - very nice!!!
  • Passed 3-4 other sailboats on the way - demonstrating the excellent sailing performance of our boat
  • At Dunkerque a couple of crew members from the other boats came to have a look at Sakura - to explore what kind of boat that had outperformed them so badly :-)
  • We had timed the trip nicely having the tide current helping all the way
  • The YCMN Marina is well organised and has 24/7 access, independent of tide
  • Location close to the city center and the historic beaches and museum

The historic beaches of Dunkerque, where the largest evacuation operation ever took place in 1940
