Winkeloord

At the Taste of Amsterdam Event was talking to Flippie about sailing and we then decided to go sailing one in June. That day was today and while at the beginning of the week the weather did not look super promising yet, after arriving at Winkeloord the weather was just super! We had plenty of sun and also quite a nice breeze for sailing!
The place itself turned out a little bit tricky to find for me: it is super helpful that on their website they already are aware that their address is not working correctly in most satnav systems and therefore they provide already the alternatives that should work on most systems.
From the A2 highway, you take a very small narrow road and finally make sure that you go straight after the little bridge (I read a sign for the Jachthaven and turned right, which made us end up in the wrong location at first).
When renting a Valk sailing boat, you get a small water-​tight container for your valuables and everything else that could be needed on the water. The only thing you will have to take care of yourself is having some drinks and some food to enjoy :)
Boats appeared to be in very good condition and I think the price (70 euros for the whole day) is very reasonable. Note that you will not get an outboard engine with this. They have a limited amount of these and if you do want to have one, you will have to rent it separately (and be on time with your reservation)
The sailing itself was just a blast: Great weather and getting some sailing lessons from Flippie herself :)
