Description

Clipper race (Enkhuizen)

Go to the website of the KlipperraceThe Klipperrace consists of two parts: the Three Cities Race and the Olympic track. On Saturday, the Three Cities Race will be sailed with the amazingly impressive anchor start in the Krabbersgat. It is then important to choose the right route. The competition organization has designated 3 buoys at Medemblik, Stavoren and Urk respectively, two of which must be rounded.

After the party on the Saturday evening we have to get out of bed on Sunday morning to sail the Olympic track. The two classes start one after the other and the tracks partially merge, so that the field stays well together for the entire race.

The Klipperrace always guarantees a lot of sailing spectacle with extremely fanatical crews. For the klipper skippers this is the race of the year.

In 2018, Saturday went very satisfactorily with a shared 8th place in the A-class on the Saturday because we had chosen the right route. On our route over Urk Stavoren we even took the lead until the last rak. Only just before the finish we were overtaken by the 2-mast Adventure. The Sunday started with a very bad start. We became nm. pressed over the starting line by the Waterwolf and had to start again at the back. Then we started with a huge overtaking race and managed to overtake 14 ships. In the end we crossed the finish line in ninth place. As a result, we reached 7th place overall. It was a beautiful weekend with a lot of sun and since times we also performed well with little wind. The new mainsail gave us a lot of extra momentum.

Sailing experience is not required, conviviality is. We sail several races (see below). All competitions include food, drinks, beer and wine.
