Sailing around Holland

Days are getting longer and it's time for sailing and getting to know new people for some possible future offshore trips.

I will start the season with some (extended) weekend sails around the Ijsselmeer and dutch Waddenzee.
Maybe going to Sweden in August for some weeks.

Right now I am looking for crew for racing or cruising.
Preferably for regular sailing, since the boat has a bit of a steep learning curve and is much more fun with some routine.

I prefer to get to know each other before a longer trip so it would be nice to start with a weekend sail on Ijsselmeer.
Boat is a ELAN 310 with gennakers and all necessary safety equipment (like EPIRB, liferaft) for going offshore.
The boat likes to heel and needs some fitness and mobility.
It's located at Medemblik / Ijsselmeer / North Holland.

About me: I work as a freelancer and like (apart from sailing) music, playing guitar /singing and fresh and healthy food.

IJsselmeer weekend

Super nice boat and skipper. Coriandre is great fun, fast and technical, and Chris keeps her in top shape! Gennaker always up when possible and plenty of trimming options, excellent. Thanks Chris!

Easter sailing cruise

5

Many thanks to Chris for the amazing cruise over Easter 2022 when we visited Harlingen, Vlieland and Terschelling. Even though the cruise was organized pretty spontaneously, organization and communication was very smooth. Chris is an experienced and knowledgeable skipper. For example he taught me to sail under Gennaker, which we hoisted a couple of times. Coriandre is in excellent condition, very well equipped and maintained. Looking forward to joining again anytime!

Weekend on the Ijsselmeer

Chris is an interesting and super nice person, easy to chat and spend time with. He really knows his boat inside out and if you're eager to learn more about sailing and sail trim, you should definitely join him. Needless to say, I felt absolutely safe at all times. Also, Coriandre is an excellently equipped and fun boat with many trim options and a large gennaker. I'll be happy to join again soon!

Day trip from Harlingen to Mebemblik

Had the pleasure to sail along with Chris. As a novice sailor with limited experience it was nice to find a captain who controls his boat like Chris does. Although there was a calm and relax atmoshere on the boat Chris has an interest in making the boat perform well. For me the ideal combo.

I had a very enjoyable 4 days with Chris on ‘Coriandre’ at the end of November assisting with his preparations for an RYA Yachtmaster exam. Chris is a capable, knowledgable and safe sailor who enjoys getting the optimum performance out of his boat. ‘Coriandre’ is beautifully presented and maintained. Add to that great company and cooking ( Chris’s) and what’s not to like?

I sailed with Chris for a week in June and it was a great experience. Chris is really aware about safety, loves to share his knowledge and is really motivated to sail. The boat is beautiful and we had some great speeds, tasty meals and relaxing evenings. I would sail with chris any day.

Great weekend on IJselmeer

5

I had a Great time with Chris sailing on the IJselmeer. Chris is a sportive sailor, and I learned a lot on our trip. Chris is a good instructor, and stays calm when things don't directly go according to plan. On the ship a lot of gear was present to optimize the sailing performance. One evening we had a little jam session with guitars and Chris sung some nice songs. I would certainly sail with Chris again, and recommend him to anyone.

Great shipmate

I had an opportunity to sail with Chris on the English Channel for 9 days. He is a diligent and safe sailor, well acquainted with his boat. He is also very easy to get along with, eager to teach what he knows and learn new things. I recommend him without any reservation.

Easter weekend was a pleasure, since I got to spend it -with gorgeous weather!- on the IJsselmeer and Wadden Sea with Chris. Chris is a passionate sailor, and due to his analytic and studious nature, acquired a good amount of knowledge in a short time that he is gladly willing to share with anyone. If you are there to learn or exchange insights in sailing, build miles, have an active and sporty view on sailing, are openminded and like to talk, you will thoroughly enjoy your time with Chris. If you are as lucky as I was, he will even share and serve you his homemade wheat-free bread and play the guitar. Thanks again, Chris.

Competent captain

I have had the opportunity to sail in IJsselmeer with Chris for a whole weekend and during these two days he has proved to be a very competent sailor - with extensive knowledge - and a very nice person. He is the owner of an amazing, well maintained and fast boat. I am looking forward to sailing with him again.

Excellent Sailor and Easy going person

Chris was very kind to invite me for a sailing weekend in his boat. Sailing with Chris you will feel very safe since he is always in control of the boat. He was very polite and always willing to share all his knowledge about sailing with me. Definitely recommend Chris to sail with and looking forward to be able to sail with him in a near future.
