Programme (preliminary)

We would like to welcome you all to the 12th X-Yachts

Gold Cup to be sailed on the IJsselmeer in Holland. The

Yacht Club Uitdam in co-operation with X-Yachts Holland

are behind the effort to make this event a memorable

and successful regatta.

Clogs, tulips and mills come to people’s mind when they

think of the Netherlands. It is not for nothing that the

country is often called; Netherlands – land of the mills.

Mills are conspicuous here – not just because of their

numbers but also because of the outstanding positions

these enormous buildings often occupy. Most of you

will come to the IJsselmeer from the seaside where the

water of the former Zuiderzee burbles invitingly: the

area just has to be discovered from the water. Each side

of the “Meer” has its own character. And it’s just this

variety of landscapes and culture that makes it attractive

to go by boat on a tour of discovery.
