Philip and Sebbe on their Tornado Round Texel 2011

Sebbe Godefroid and youngster Philip Hendricks came unexpectedly fifth over the finish line. The crack and the rookie sailed a very good Round Texel Race and performed above expectations. This morning their only goal was at least to sail the whole race, now they were one of the first finishers. Sebbe: "It went well. We have performed 100.000 times better than expected. Especially if you know that Philip only has sailed for two hours all together on a Tornado. Yesterday was his first sail on this boat.”
