The Galgenweel is an over sized skating rink in winter and an undersized regatta venue in summer. It is the home of Belgian dinghy sailing. Sitting at the bar overlooking the lake, you can see all the random and short lived cat's paws making their way accross the lake. Even from this privileged vantage point it is not always clear which boats on the race course will get the pressure or lift that takes them out in front. The sailors who have put in the most time here develop a rare quality: instinct.
