Sailing and Socialising during Worlds Soling 2017

Hello World Wide Soling Sailors,

It will be great that you are coming in September to The Netherlands competing to win the Soling Worlds 2017 in Muiden. 

Yachtclub Muiden

We are looking forward to your arrival. Meanwhile we are busy with the preparations. Sure the racing will be most important, however we also like to address the supporting teams with a nice program.
Since races most often are not easy to follow from shore, it seems like a good idea to offer you some alternate activities and to show you some nice aspects of The Netherlands.
We have made an social program that will be in sync with the racing of the Soling teams.

16-SEP-2017

On Saturday we hope to welcome as many as possible teams at the Royal Yacht Club in Muiden. During daytime measurement will take place. In the evening there will be the opportunity to make a boat tours thru the channels in Amsterdam with some wine and Dutch cheese. The Tour starts at 21:00 hours and will be finished around 23:00 hours. The cost will be €39 per person exclusive transport to Amsterdam and back.

Last day of racing… After sailing and hoisting there will be the prize giving and goodbye ceremony.

AND MORE…

We did not want to make too many program items in the social calendar. However if you want to experience even more we will be able to advise you. E.g. an extra individual tour can be made to Pampus Isle. There you will have an excellent view on the lake and maybe you can see part of the races.
Also a visit to the original Medieval Castle of Muiden (walking distance on the other site of the harbor) can be on you individual list.



George Stephenson 

Probably the steam vessel “George Stephenson” will be at the dock. The owner of this museum vessel will be pleased to tell you more about it. Weather permitting he even will bring us to Volendam and back to visit this fishing town. On tour we will see the Solings racing.
    
As you can see there is plenty of activities during the Worlds in this small part of the world.
