Boudewijn Binkhorst

1980: Several countries did boycott the 1980 Summer Olympics, others like France did not go since they found the competition devalued. As result only half of the expected fleet was present during the Olympic regattas. 1982: Just before the start of the 1982 Star World Championship in Medemblik Binkhorst took, by legal procedure, possession of five valuable prizes of the Star Class Organisation (ISCYRA). This was the result of a conflict between Binkhorst (and a German boatbuilder) and the ISCYRA about the creation of an unsinkable Star. One outcome was that the team of Binkhorst and Willem van Walt Meijer did not start at the Worlds and missed an opportunity to qualify for the Olympics.

Binkhorst became European champion Finn in 1971 and 2nd at the World championship Finn in 1975. Both after long periods of not participating because of professional obligations.

Binkhorst studied Medicine at the Groningen University. Later he worked as Physician, e.g. at the Sportmedisch Adviescentrum, Amersfoort. He died in Breskens on 16 July 2021, at the age of 78.[1]
