About
A member-run sailing club on the Nieuwe Meer, founded in 1933, with one of the largest youth sections in the Netherlands. Kids learn in the Optimist, a one-person dinghy, then move up to the Cadet and the ILCA (formerly the Laser) or on to racing classes. The club also runs a summer sailing camp and, since 2012, adapted sailing for people with disabilities through Sailability.
