WHAT IS IT LIKE TO SAIL SB20 IN THE NETHERLANDS?

SB20 NETHERLANDS HAS A BUSY CALENDAR OF EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, STARTING IN MAY UNTIL OCTOBER, WHEN THE WEATHER STILL ALLOWS US TO SAIL IN THE INTERNAL WATERS AS WELL AS ON THE NORTH SEA. OUR TRADITIONAL EVENTS ON THE CIRCUIT INCLUDE THE REGATTAS VAN UDEN RECO, WITH TWO EDITIONS PER YEAR IN TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS (STELLENDAM AND MEDEMBLIK), THE ANNUAL NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN MEDEMBLIK THAT RUN ALONGSIDE THE DUTCH SAILING WEEK AT OUR OLYMPIC VENUE AND A NUMBER OF SMALLER REGATTAS AND TRAININGS ON WINDY DUTCH WATERS. WE ALSO JOIN EFFORTS WITH THE BELGIAN SB20 ASSOCIATION AND PARTICIPATE WITH OUR DUTCH FLEET IN THE OPEN BELGIAN NATIONALS THAT USUALLY HAPPEN IN THE SUMMER IN BEAUTIFUL COASTAL TOWN OF OSTEND.
