Wonderfull of you to visit this page which ties it all together: you, us, the people who started it all. On this page you can find interesting information about who Nacra Racing came to life. Why are we here and why are we doing what we do.
Also, you can see who are Boardmembers are. All volunteers, giving their best to design and deliver the best regatta’s to help us create valuable sailing memories. If you spot them, say hi. And share your insights and memories. They’ll like that.
Nacra Racing is the global class authority of the Nacra F18 Infusion, Nacra 17 MKI, Nacra F20, and all fun and older race types. So, not for the Nacra 15 and the Nacra 17 MKII (Olympic).
Nacra Racing is born out of the Nacra Dutch Class Association (NDCA) and the International Nacra Class Association (INCA). They hosted the Nacra Dutch Open at Hellecat and the Nacra and World Championships at Texel between 2008 and 2015. Nacra Racing is created to just do one thing: organise more events for Nacra sailors.
Nacra Racing is the place sailors will go to to get info on important Nacra events and racing venues. We also stretch our responsibility to get to know marina’s and venues. So Nacra Teams can train and stay over in winter time.
Designing and delivering regatta’s as Nacra Racing Board we also rely on sponsors, suppliers and partnerships to help us further.
So an annual class fee is required if you sail at our regatta’s. As a result we can add nice extra’s to our events: social drinks, a photographer or media team, goodies etc.
We are not a commercial party where profit is the one thing we care about. We care about you. About sailing. About youth. Having Fun. And we do this with all our love. Love us for it.
The Nacra Racing board consists of volunteers who dedicate their free time to design and deliver great events. Being sailors themselves they think it is in all our interest to make sure we all have the possibility to sail great events.

Her main focus is working together with the President, deploying new interesting regattas and keeping Nacra Racing and it's branding fresh.

If you want things done, she's the one. Send her an email!
You know, that’s what he’s best at. Well, next to racing then because he has numerous prizes and more than a few line honours wins at Round Texel. Xander is always open to talk to you if you have an interesting business opportunity.
Cor is a pensionado enjoying life, especially Portugal, and helping us out as our beacon in thrifty times as secretary. Always open for a chat and smiling, following the races with binoculars, we just love Cor.
For Nacra Racing Frank is our Race Guru. He is they guy on the ground who will look at course management when we organise regatta’s and challenge us in where and how to race. Being a travelled man during his time as a Nacra Team Racer he has seen many venues and countries so you can imagine his value to us. Want to know more on how we race and why we do it this way. He’s your man.
One would think that having a financial advisor on board would do the trick, but we think that having a controller manage our books might work better. Also, we have a great team with them together, so that’s just it then. We hope you will have the pleasure to meet Marinde at the beach.
