Hansebas Meijer
Hello,
I´m Hansebas Meijer, I was born 29th of october in 1992.
In England, because of my dad´s work.
First I started to sail in a little harbour of the club WV Arne in Middelburg, I was 8 years old.
The third training, I capsized. After that, I didn´t want to sail anymore.
After a trainingsweek, I wasn´t scared anymore. So I went to sail more and more.
Soon I went to a bigger club, the WSVW in Wolphaartsdijk.
In 2003 I was sailing at the trials. Since 2004 I participate in the Dutch National Optimist team.
In 2005 I was 9th at the trials, that year I went to the Europeans in Poland, I ended 10th at the open, and 8th of Europe. The trials in 2006, I ended second, so I went to the Worlds,
where I ended 107th, I wasn´t happy about that.
But Holland was 6th at the team races, and Holland didn´t participate in worlds teamsailing since 2002.
