The HR Connectie is growing up and now also has a beautiful (gavel)! At the JALV of 7 September last, our re-elected chairman Robbert-Jan Poerstamper received a (gavel) from the hands of secretary Frederik van der Dussen, which was donated to us by the Hallberg-Rassy shipyard. With the support and efforts of Paul Hameeteman – […]

We have already informed some members about the sale of our HR VLIETSTROOM. As co-initiator of the HR Connectie I know that no Hallberg-Rassy means no member of our association and that is how it should be. We have sailed for 20 years on our own boats of which the last 9 years on our […]

As you can see in the picture, I am standing near a buoy. It is the old BvK (Blocq van Kuffeler) buoy at the entrance of our sailing club (WV Blocq van Kuffeler). Within our association, self-reliance is mandatory and Nicolette and I have adopted this buoy. That means cleaning and painting. But a buoy […]

It is with great pleasure that Lidia and I organise events for the HRC. So that was a bit of a switch this year! A promising Wadden event unfortunately could not take place.
