Cruising

Cruising is about exploring and (re-)discovering  the world from a different perspective. It involves learning about the marine environment, mastering the boat, living together, sharing and caring. It also involves relaxing and enjoying. Our Club organises many cruises in the sailing areas of Belgium, the Netherlands, UK and France aboard our boat BlueOne, but also in the Mediterranean and other seas. Look at our calendar of events! 

Racing

Racing ups the sailing experience to the competitive level. It is about optimising the performance of the boat and the crew. It is about learning to exploit the wind, the current, the landscape, the racing rules and other competitors errors. In the end it is also about adrenaline and excitment, Our club takes part in several races in Belgium and the Netherlands.

​

Dinghy sailing

​Dinghies are more sensitive and reactive than cruisers and allow getting easier and faster sensations, fun and sometimes...swimming! Dinghy sailing can be recommended for building  experience and developing and sharpening your maritime sense. Our club offers single-handed or double-handed boats close to Brussels, as .well as day sailings on a Laser 16 dinghy (PAX = 5) in Veersemeer, Zeeland (NL).
