Description
Wadden Race (Harlingen)
The Wadden Race, the last race before we enter winter. This year it will be sailed 31 October, 1 and 2 November. We start in Harlingen. Then we have to get to Den Oever, Texel, Vlieland and Terschelling as quickly as possible. You get to decide the route yourself, and it is by making smart choices there that the most profit can be made. There is even a prize for the ship sailing most according to its own prediction, which the navigator submitted to the race committee on Saturday morning.
The Wadden race is characterised by turbulent weather, night-time sailing and cold weather. A very exciting race with food for many tough sailing stories. In 2019, we did not finish because of stormy winds, which made it irresponsible to continue sailing. In 2020, the race was cancelled due to Corona restrictions. In 2021, we did not finish, but were cosily stranded on Terschelling,also 2022 we had to abandon due to a broken daggerboard. But it will work out sometime, right? So in 2025, we will gladly join you to finally finish this tough race again.

The Johanna Engelina is a 38-metre sailing clipper. Built in 1897 and with approx. 900 m² sail on board. All competitions can accommodate up to 33 people. Accompanied by an experienced crew, you will have the chance to experience a very spectacular event. Sailing experience is not required, conviviality is. Every competition also involves an experienced cook. Because with an empty stomach you can’t sail!
