Co-Skipper Wanted – Summer Racing in the Netherlands (May–August)
I’m looking for a committed co-skipper or experienced crew to join me aboard Pompoen, my classic sailing boat converted to electric, for a summer of double-handed racing and training in the Netherlands.
About Me
I’ve been sailing since childhood, with a background in IT and four years of ownership and hands-on upgrades on Pompoen. I believe in smart sailing, good preparation, and a calm, respectful atmosphere onboard. I’m passionate about sustainable sailing and learning by doing.
About the Boat
Pompoen is a traditional design with a second life—now fully electric with fresh sails, tuned rigging, and safety-first standards. She’s well-equipped for racing and cruising, especially inshore and coastal waters.
What I’m Looking For
• A motivated and reliable sailor, ideally with racing or co-skippering experience—or strong interest and a fast learning curve.
• Availability for regular training days (weekends + some evenings in May, June & August).
• Participation in three Dutch regattas:
• Flevoland Regatta
• Ronde om Noord-Holland
• 24 Uur Zeilrace
• Willingness to commit to teamwork, safety, and fun in all weather.
What You’ll Get
• Hands-on experience in double-handed racing
• A chance to grow as a sailor and co-skipper
• A season full of memories, learning, and sailing stories
• No charter fees—just commitment, energy, and shared adventure
If this sounds like your kind of summer, drop me a message! Enthusiasm, reliability, and curiosity go a long way.
