In July, HRC member Paul van de Heuvel, with his HR 46 ‘Op Stok 3’, competed in the Tall Ships Races 2022. In the D class, he captured 2nd place. In Aalborg (Denmark), he was greeted by our Belgium Coordinator, Rutger Steenmeijer, who was there for the occasion with his Esperanza III. Click here for: […]

As I write this report (Sunday 25 September), we are now a week on and the Grobbebol is already on the shore awaiting major underwater hull maintenance. The event in Enkhuizen was, due to the weather conditions (wind NW 6-7, rain and only 15 degrees), little sail but a lot of social. When organising an […]

On Friday 4 and Saturday 5 November, in collaboration with Matthijs Blonk of HR352 Rianne and Savio Davids, we are organising a one-day motorbike maintenance course for the second time. For many of us, engine maintenance is something we like to leave to a specialist. But what if something happens to the cooling water in […]

In 2020, I had the honour of receiving the Poerstamper trophy from the Mariste. A total surprise and super sweet that I got to receive the trophy. But yes, what next? Goodness, now I have to hand over the trophy in 2021! However, due to COVID, this will only be possible again in May 2022 […]

In the weekend of 17 and 18 September 2022 the HRC organises a sail & social event at the IJsselmeer in the Buyshaven of Enkhuizen. After a very successful Zeeland event in June and hopefully a nice sailing holiday close to home or far away, it is now time to meet again and catch up […]

Nigel Southern and a crew of three have set sail with HR 48 Moon & Stars on 22nd August en route for the Canaries and the 2022 ARC Rally. We wish them fair winds and following seas on their sailing adventure. For those who want to follow this journey the planned itinerary is as follows […]

Saturday 17 September is the day. The second HRC Sail & BBQ event will take place again at Ossehoek! Time to see each other again and share our holiday stories. Sail and jetty drinks and BBQ on the recreational island Ossehoek Friday night we have reserved the passersby’s bowl in Bruinisse. But you are also […]

In my report on the event at Terschelling I wrote boldly that I wanted to visit three events: Terschelling, Zeebrugge and Bruinisse. But that was too ambitious. To make it to Zeebrugge the weather and wind would have to be favourable and that wasn’t the case. So we let Zeebrugge pass. A great pity, because […]

When the events calendar for 2022 was filled up and I saw three consecutive events there, I thought: “YES we are going to experience that.” Ambitious but not impossible. Our holiday starts on 29 May and lasts until mid-July. Quite long this year! We leave on Monday morning, 30 May, with lovely weather, but no […]

After two corona years we could finally prepare our first HR Solotoer. Initially, there were nine potential participants, but in the end three HRCers remained who were present at the start in Bruinisse. The Participants Paul Vermeijlen         Enigma       HR 40C Hilco ten Hoeven      Pietertje 2   HR 40 Pierre […]

There are holidays and holiday trips. Of the latter we may occasionally enjoy the company of members who undertake a special trip with their beautiful HR. The one of HR62 Caroline for instance or the crossing of HR352 Amea. Now HR40 Mariste is added to the list. Tom and Lidia make a journey of 3 […]

As announced earlier, our English sister association, the “Hallberg-Rassy Owners Association”, will come to Zeebrugge and Zeeland in June to attend our first lustrum activities. This is part of the celebration of five years of the “Hallberg-Rassy Connection”. On Friday 10 June, the British participants will arrive in Zeebrugge, where they will stay for three […]

This year, on Saturday 18 June 2022, the Nova Yachting Hallberg-Rassy Tour will again be sailing on the Grevelingen. Prior to this, the Hallberg-Rassy Connectie organises the traditional Pré-party Friday 17 June 2022 in the clubhouse at Bruinisse. Participants in the Pré-Party and Hallberg-Rassy Tour 2022 can moor for free in the Kommetje van Bruinisse […]
