It was a pleasure to see so many different small boats and also so many older sailors out and about enjoying the water which has to be a great inspiration.
Hello Koos, I missed this video of you! 😳 Despite my subscription to your UA-cam-channel! But again you are a very good ambassador for the many small boats in the Netherlands! 👍🏼 In those “dark days before Christmas” it’s always nice to watch your videos! Some trips are already known by me but it’s always nice to see people enjoying in the same way as I do! Thanks Koos
Hey Koos love your video with the lovely smiling Dutch people sailing small boats. Would they welcome a more ordinary plastic sailing kayak (2014 Hobie Adventure Island) on this Raid next year . Seems like the perfect boat for that environment.
Yes the Hobie is great for this, maybe a bit wide? Love their pedel system, so clever. Welcome for sure. I'm not the organiser, but via natuurlijkvaren.nl you can find all the info. Places do fill up soon, as many people return ... :)
@@CanoesailorThanks. I just want to sail on the beautiful lakes and waterways of Holland. It looks endless and wonderfully complex. So perfect for long sailing camping trips. I have got to do it soon. I bet the weather can be a bit changeable though. The AI can retract its outriggers (Aka's) for narrow spaces and still pedal. Not sure if it can sail like this as I have never tried. Probably won't work as the Aka's point outwards and flare a bit when retracted. I love the way that you carry everything you need in such a small boat. It sails beautifully though. Hobie's have their share of rudder related problems as well such as the steering lines breaking internally so the kayaking paddle suddenly becomes very useful! The worst thing is you can't see the steering lines gently wearing away.
@@Sunshipsailing H, normally there is plenty space in friesland, check out the Raid NL video too, where we went out with 4 boats, 5 days, 200 km, with North wind and great weather!

Hi from Japan. Another fantastic video. Thanks! One concern, though, during this dreadful and highly contagious epidemic... Where are your masks...?! Let's take care of each other. Thank you.
Thanks, this was a movie from september 2019, when masks were not required or thought much about, we were in a farm where we could distance, so yes we took care. Always difficult, following the rules, but also living your life.
@@Canoesailor My apologies. I thought this was from the "Dorestad Raid 2020 (september)." Thank you... We need to "scaffold" our societies for better health awareness!

Thanks, many with a sports background, but too young to quit, even at 80 plus years old!

Thanks! Still have a few unedited trips, Raid extreme in stralsund and lauwersoog ;)
Oh Koos, fantastic event! So big variety of nice little boats and a lot of smiling people! Thanks for the video.
Thanks! Yes spring coming up!
Brilliant video. Appreciate the sub titles.👍🏻⛵️

I wonder how it is possible to take part. It's quite interesting to sail your area.
Thanks it's from natuurlijkvaren.nl not many places,but always possible :)
Hi koos thanks for the video. I was wandering whether you can tell me what design is that blue clinker cat ketch that participated?
Thanks
I've seen the link but it's in Dutch so I didn't understand much. Do you know the design of the vessel?

No problems ;)
The title of the video is “Dorestad 2020”. ?
@@johnstarkie9948 Correct this was sailed in autumn 2020, it took a while to get this edited, much nice shots ;)
