Experience Historic Sailing on the Markermeer
Yzeilen is an annual event that brings together a diverse fleet of historic commercial vessels and traditional sailing ships, including klippers, tjalken, and aken. The core focus of the regatta is the enjoyment of sailing these historic ships and sharing this unique experience within the maritime community and with the public.
The event will unfold on the Markermeer, with sailing activities typically occurring near Pampus island. This picturesque setting offers an excellent backdrop for the competition and a chance to witness these impressive vessels in action. Skippers who wish to test their skills in a friendly yet competitive environment can vie for the coveted IJ-bell.
