One of the highlights of his career was his participation in the <a href=\"https:\/\/p1offshore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">P1 races<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore his race track record is very impressive and he&#8217;s passing on his skills and knowledge to his son, Quentin and the new copilot Julie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s also the CEO of <a href=\"https:\/\/Brugge Marine Center.com\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brugge Marine Center<\/a> (BMC), in Belgium next to the canal that leads to the sea. A superb location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While his father was one of P1\u2019s most exciting talents, Kris Deraedt makes his comeback with the Team starting in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quentin was destined for a career in boating sport and turned his first laps at the boat at the tender age of five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the age of 16 he mastered motor boating as if he had done nothing else. He was destined for a career in boating sports. In 2021 he had the credits of youngest driver in Europe. He&#8217;s employed at BMC since 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Julie is one of the first women daring to be a copilot and the only female copilot in 2022 in Belgium. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a little girl she always went on different boat trips and together with her mom, Ingrid Hermans, they  sailed many destinations. So the RIB is not unknown to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year the Flanders Offshore Racing Team was looking for a new spirit. Eager as she was, she also would like to be a role model for women in the racing world because unfortunately I am the only female copilot this year. So why not change that? Speaking of a formidable spirit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Fun and pleasure remain important, good coordination with each other and not taking risks&#8221; she shares. &#8220;And I couldn&#8217;t wish for another pilot or Quentin, an emerging talent!&#8221; Hear hear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About the hardware. In 2021 the beast was the superb Osprey Lynx 26 RIB. In 2022 they race with their new Mercury Optimax 200xs ROS powered Technohull Seadrug 688.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ribsonly.com\/2\/flanders-offshore-racing-all-new-technohull-seadrug-688\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out this video<\/a> and you&#8217;ll find all the specs there as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A race team needs sponsors. Flanders Offshore Racing Team is supported by Meet Media, Mobitel, BMC, Riba, DM swimming pools, car dealership Sneppe, PM trans and &#8220;all-round jobs&#8221; Heidi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proud to share that <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/Brugge Marine Center.com\/en\/home\/\" target=\"_blank\">Brugge Marine Center (BMC)<\/a> is a good Friend of RIBs ONLY.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RIB Racing in Flanders The Flanders Offshore Racing Team is back in 2022 with a new young team full of passion and drive: co-pilot Julie Labeeuw and pilot Quentin Deraedt.
