Round Texel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Round Texel is the biggest catamaran race in the world with an annual average of 600 participants.

The Ronde om Texel (Round Texel) is a regatta for catamarans around the island of Texel in The Netherlands. Round Texel has been organized since 1978 and is now the biggest catamaran race in the world. The race is approximately 100 kilometers long and is organized once a year in June. Strong tidal currents and unpredictable winds make Round Texel a highly tactical race that has been won alternately by professional sportsmen and skilled outsiders. Notable winners have been Reg White, the first multihull Olympic champion, who won Round Texel in 1994 at the age of 59. In 2003 the trophy went to Darren Bundock, world champion in several multihull classes in 2003, 2004 and 2005. The future of the race is in question due to the possibility of hightened environmental restrictions in the protected Wadden Sea area.
