Manoeuvring clinics

The basics of how to manoeuvre on the water will be taught for free at the Amsterdam in-water Boat Show by instructors from De Zeezeilers van Marken (The Sea Sailors of Marken). In short clinics onboard sail yachts, participants will learn to individually perform certain actions with the motor. Weather permitting, the yachts will leave port six times a day carrying four ‘students’. Interested parties can register at the Zeezeilers van Marken stand. These clinics have proven very popular in previous years so early registration is advised.

 

CuliBoot: Delightful and delicious
A special initiative at the HISWA Amsterdam in-water Boat Show 2010 is the CuliBoot, with catering by the Food on Tour company from top chefs Jonnie and Thérèse Boer. As in their restaurants, Food on Tour is all about refined tastes and superior hospitality. Visitors can enjoy a unique taste sensation with fabulously designed food onboard the stylish M.S. Zuiderzee with gorgeous views over the brand-new yachts in the marina. Diners will pay € 45 (three courses) for lunch, with dinner (four courses) being served for € 65. Booking in advance is advised.

Tour on the Ecolution by Wubbo Ockels

Perhaps the most remarkable of all the global premieres at the HISWA Amsterdam in-water Boat Show is the Ecolution, a brand new live-aboard sailyacht by Wubbo Ockels which will be presented to the public for the very first time. Holland’s first astronaut has developed a sustainable and self-supporting sailyacht of 25.60 metres that can function completely autonomously thanks to a variety of innovative technologies. In three to five days sailing, the yacht generates sufficient power to live comfortably onboard for a month. The onboard tour will include a look at the very latest technology, automation and design trends.

 

 

Sailing Theatre

This theatre on the quay is a meeting place for fellow sailors. After seeing the new yachts at the boat show, visitors can enjoy the Ocean Sailing Experience, with exciting images of ocean sailyacht racing. Show visitors who register for the sailing package with Hans Bouscholte will be able to attend a short lecture discussing all the ins and outs of sailing on the PleoMax, Open 60 or IMX boats prior to their activity. Experience how famous sailors race the oceanic waters by means of exciting and spectacular images.
