A story
Ask the bosun
Everything at the marina begins with one person: the bosun. The bosun knows which boats are in, how the wind stands and how low the water is this week, so you ask first.
Read the story
The sailing club has been here since 1967, and its lit floating pier runs for more than a hundred metres. Along it wait eighteen Omega dinghies, three two-masted boats, kayaks, rowing boats and a dozen pedal boats.
Choose by courage. A pedal boat for the children, an Omega if you can sail, a skipper if you cannot. From the first of April to the end of October, the lake is open.
