As I write this report (Sunday 25 September), we are now a week on and the Grobbebol is already on the shore awaiting major underwater hull maintenance. The event in Enkhuizen was, due to the weather conditions (wind NW 6-7, rain and only 15 degrees), little sail but a lot of social. When organising an […]

On Friday 4 and Saturday 5 November, in collaboration with Matthijs Blonk of HR352 Rianne and Savio Davids, we are organising a one-day motorbike maintenance course for the second time. For many of us, engine maintenance is something we like to leave to a specialist. But what if something happens to the cooling water in […]

In 2020, I had the honour of receiving the Poerstamper trophy from the Mariste. A total surprise and super sweet that I got to receive the trophy. But yes, what next? Goodness, now I have to hand over the trophy in 2021! However, due to COVID, this will only be possible again in May 2022 […]

In my report on the event at Terschelling I wrote boldly that I wanted to visit three events: Terschelling, Zeebrugge and Bruinisse. But that was too ambitious. To make it to Zeebrugge the weather and wind would have to be favourable and that wasn’t the case. So we let Zeebrugge pass. A great pity, because […]

Dear HR sailors, We would like to briefly introduce ourselves. We are Alphons and Dorethy van de Ven. After years of sailing, we sold our sailing ship in 2017 and then enjoyed motoring on the inland waterways on our Super van Craft.

Our holiday starts on 29 May and lasts until mid-July. Quite long this year! We leave on Monday morning, 30 May, with lovely weather, but no […]

I followed […]
