Known locally as De Koninklijke, this sailing and rowing club was founded in 1847 and sits in Muiden on the Markermeer. Its youngest sailors, the Heintjes, learn in Optimists and RS Fevas with certified CWO instructors at the youth base on the Noordkop, which has its own clubhouse, beach and shallow-water jetty.
Older kids move on to racing groups. Five-day summer sailing camps are open to non-members too.
