Sailing @ De Kaag - Skippers wanted!

Are you an experienced sailor and don’t mind sharing some sailing basics with others? Join us as a skipper and we will provide you a ship (and crew) for free! But everyone is welcome to join, so also passengers, experienced and inexperienced.

Sailing is sustainable and a great way to enjoy the outdoors. You learn everything from the wind to the weather, it can involve physical work, but it can also be an incredibly relaxing pastime.

We will rent one or two Valk/Falcon-sailboats (4 persons + 1 sailor per boat) at the picturesque island of Kaag for an afternoon boat ride. After you have left the ferry to Kaag, you enter a complete different world. The many well-preserved houses and farms suggest that you are many years back in history. Kaag offers peace and quiet, enhanced by beautiful vistas over water and meadows. Afterwards we can have a drink at a local restaurant (optional).

Cost:
€ 17,50 each (sailor doesn't have to pay). A life jacket (not mandatory, but advised) is € 3.-. A Tikkie-link will follow about a week before the event starts. This event is only confirmed after you transferred the (non-refundable) amount.
In case of bad weather (too much wind or rain) this event will be rescheduled. Deductible in case of damage is about € 35.- each, but we don't expect it of course:)

Bring:
Water, towel, swimwear (in case you want to go for a refreshing dive), sun block, sun glasses, warm jacket. Valuables can be stored in a barrel.

Transportation:
This event is in Kaag, close to Leiden. If you come by public transport, the easiest is to bring your bike on the train (buy a 'Fietskaart Dal') and exit at Sassenheim train station. From there it's about 15 minutes (4 km) biking to the ferry.

Important:
For safety reasons you'll need to have basic swimming skills.
