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.

21:00 hours and will be finished around 23:00 hours. The cost will be €39 per

21-SEP-2017
Racing continues… Thursday … Bicycle day! Going to The
Netherlands without riding a bike is not an option! During the day you can
explore the Muiden environment on a bike. There are plenty of special bicycle
roads so it can be done pretty safe. The costs are depending of the number of
participants.
22-SEP-2017
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.
