There happens to be Sneekweek sailing event going on while we are there. Perhaps we could stop by and see some of the action
Located in Friesland
Largest sailing event on European inland waterways
6 Aug. 2021 - 12 Aug. 2021 oops wrong year 😢
Many of the Netherlands sailing schools give CWO sailing certification which is different from RYA details on differences here. Not that we really need the certification because boat rental seem to be primarily based on a sailing resume. I could help in the case we end up really liking it in NL easier to charter boats from companies that are CWO schools if you have the cert..
