Sailing Weekend (Advanced version) | Friesland
The sailing weekends are back again! This year we reserved two weekends to sail in the lovely north of the Netherlands: Friesland! This time the weekends have been split into two versions: a basic one to learn the ropes, and a more advanced version for those with sailing experience or people with no experience who are up for a challenge! NOTE: this event is for the advanced version of the weekend, so get ready to batten down the hatches ;)
What does advanced mean?
The advanced version of the sailing weekend focusses on deeper aspects of sailing techniques, and is intended for people who not only want to have a good time aboard the Gudsekop, but also want to get better at the art of sailing a skûtsje. If you have some sailing experience or and want to get even better or are adventurous and want to have a more in-depth experience, the advanced sailing weekend is for you!
The logistics
Friday, after work (>9 pm), we will arrive in Akkrum (Friesland), where we will stay on the boat 'De Gudsekop'. On Saturday and Sunday, we will sail the Friesian lakes (depending on the weather, we will make a larger or shorter tour). Sunday afternoon, we will be back at Akkrum.
We will stay on the boat the whole weekend and you should know: it will be back to basic! So, expect a weekend sleeping on a mat, eating simple but good food, being outside a lot, no electricity, a lot of silence since there is no motor, and having a loooong hot shower when you are home ;).
Considering transport to Akkrum: we will figure this out based on whether we have some cars or just by train. Akkrum is relatively easy to reach by train.
How much:
The weekend will cost 90 euros including food, stay and boat trip. Transport to the boat is at own-cost (see above).
