COACHES AND TEAMLEADERS
In order to operate a fast (rubber) boat on the IJsselmeer, where the Delta Lloyd Regatta will be held, the law in The Netherlands requires that:
- The person driving the boat possesses a certificate of competence (Klein Vaarbewijs)*
- The person driving the boat possesses a registration number and form for the boat concerned.
- The Organising Authority realises that it is impossible for coaches and team leaders from abroad to fulfil the requirement of acquiring a certificate of competence, since one has to take an exam in The Netherlands in the Dutch language. The Organising Authority will therefore seek an exemption.
However, one can and must obtain a registration number form for the (rubber) boats at any post office in The Netherlands (also in Medemblik).
