THE DUTCH LIONS

Kracht in doorzettingsvermogen, altijd klaar voor de aanval

Strength in persistence, always ready to pounce

The Dutch have always used the sea as a means to trade, and successful they were at it. Competing has always been more important than winning, but at the end of the 1980 this changed. With medals in the windsurfer, Europe and Finn dinghy and legs in the Whitbread Round the World Race, winning became the holy grail. This has only grown in the 21st century. Not only in the Olympics, but also with campaigns in the Volvo Ocean Race and sailors standing on the top podium in the America’s Cup. As a sailing nation always hungry for more, persistent and ready to pounce.
