Regatta Center Medemblik
Already in the old days, Medemblik was the Dutch regatta
center. It is the home base for many international sailing
events, such as the Holland Regatta, European and World
Championships in several classes, and of yachting events like
the 24-hours race. This reputation and position is due to the
sheltered location at the windward shore of the IJsselmeer, to
the attraction of the historical city of Medemblik, and to the
effort of various organizing committees of sailing events.
To enforce the position of the Netherlands as an international
sailing nation, a sailing center with modern facilities -
preferably in Medemblik - was required. In April 1999 the
doors of the new and modern international sailing center
opened.
