53-year-old Renaat Van Hende from Lochristi, a member of the Bruges Sailing and Yacht Club, is taking part for the very first time in the World Sailing Championship, which will take place in Nida, Lithuania. Renaat is very much looking forward to it, after an intensive training that he has started since last year, with the aim of achieving an honourable place for Belgium, as our country is participating in a World Championship for the very first time.
Never before has a Belgian competed in a European Championship or World Sailing Championship.... a first for our country!
