Requirements for skippers

Skippers don't need to have a license. However, it is important that you are confident that you will be able to assure the safety of the boat and, much more important, of each of your crewmembers. The skipper of each boat is responsible for her/his boat and crew! If you don't feel confident, there is always the possibility to rent a skipper via e.g. OCC Yachting, NL.

Requirements for crewmembers
There are no specific requirements for crewmembers.It is perfectly possible to participate without any experience at all. During Saturday morning, all teams will test the boats. A skilled skipper (your skipper or a skipper you hired for the weekend) will train you and your fellow crewmembers in how to operate the boat.
