Description
Especially for schools, we have developed options for a sailing trip on and around the water. Educational and active. The idea behind such a school outing is to link a sailing week or day with various school subjects. In addition, there is room for sportsmanship and relaxation. We have worked out a number of possibilities, but are of course open to other ideas.
As a school, you can also book multiple ships for your school classes or groups. You compose the program yourself and you take care of the meals on board with the students.
These programmes are elaborate examples of a day’s sailing or a school week as it can be done on board the Johanna Engelina:
Day of sailing with secondary schools
Educational day trip with overnight stay from Amsterdam
The new normal is almost becoming the old normal again. We expect to welcome groups of 30 to 50 people again from 1 May. Your school class!
And for this we offer a great educational day out.
So what do we offer?
An overnight stay on board with a day’s sailing on a 40-metre clipper from Amsterdam.
Sailing idea:
- The class will arrive at 9am.
- After a welcome talk with safety instructions, we will discuss exactly what we are going to do on the day.
A little more acclimatisation and then it will be time to cast off again. - We pass behind Amsterdam Central Station, right through all the commuters who cross over on the ferry.
- Then to the Oranjesluizen with an explanation of the function and operation of the locks and the waterways.
- After passing the Schellingwouder Bridge, the sails can finally be set.
Here, too, we tell you about the power play of the winches, ropes, pulleys and how you can hoist a 180m2 sail with two people. - When the sails are finally set, the working of the sails is explained on the basis of Bernoulli’s law.
We also spend time on the Pythagorean theorem and how we use it a lot on board. - In the meantime, we sail past Durgerdam, IJburg, Lighthouse island, Uitdam, Pampus and Muiden. All are places of high historical value. And we can also point out the interconnectedness with the Dutch language and our maritime past. Of course, we will once tack with such a large sailing ship and explain sailing manoeuvres.
- If the weather permits, we can make a short swimming stop, but then it is really time to sail back to Amsterdam.
In short, a day on the Johanna Engelina is a day full of fun, cooperation, educationand activities.
