O

Thursday evening – Harwich.

Friday Disembark at Hook van Holland. Tasty breakfast near Gouda.. Check in at Oostmahorn. 18:00 Skippers' briefing, then dinner .

Saturday – Now the other extreme bit -

The race starts at sunrise – Yes, 06:48!
The rules are simple - Visit six checkpoints in any order you like and be first home. Finish before the 17:00 deadline.
Paddle, pedal, sail, row, multihull, canoe; any kind of boat allowed, but no motors, no handicaps, no safety boat.
Some people enjoy just cruising to a few checkpoints, stopping for lunch en-route and soaking up the sunshine.

(2) DORESTAD RAID – Imagine exploring different Dutch inland waterways each year!

Suitable for most small sailing craft - Alternative (non-motor) propulsion and easily steppable mast are important.

Accommodation – Is in cabins aboard the attractively converted Dutch barge “Indubio”.
Skipper Leo moves her to a new location each day, and co-owner Hannah welcomes weary sailors home with tea, soup, and goodies before dinner.
Hardy sailors can sleep on their own boats alongside the mother-ship if they prefer.
Catering - All enjoy the same catering. Dinners, breakfasts, & DIY-doggy-bag lunches are all included.
"Duties" - Raiders take turns helping in the galley and dining areas, reducing costs.
Refreshments - Beer and wine are available on an honesty-list help-yourself basis. Tea, coffee, biscuits, and afternoon soup are free.
