CruisingCruising 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!

RacingRacing 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 SailingDinghies 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 keeps two single-handed Laser dinghies at Hombeek lake close to Brussels, where it will also operate a Laser 16 dinghy (PAX = 5) in 2018 for sailing demonstrations and trainings.
