Mailit
On the principle that ‘after hard work one should sail’ Mailit invited her clients for a day of sailing on the IJsselmeer on June 9th 2006. Its was wonderfully relaxing, on the water and with the sun shining brightly, on board of the ‘Hoge Wier’ from Muiden.
The day’s theme was ‘knots’, which not only appeared to be reflected in the great speed of the one-masted clipper. Among the travelling items was the standard book ‘steken, splitsen en knopen’, which was useful in so many ways! We tied ropes together; we tied up the ship, connected with each other, and tried to make both ends meet...
At the end of the trip, Mailit’s head chef ‘knots and ropes’, Robert Farenhorst, was caught at the end of his rope worrying about the closure of the day. Finally, we decided to close the day on board ánd in the harbour of Muiden. How that ended...the story doesn’t tell us. But it was fun from beginning to end!

Checked the weather forecast on Saturday: tomorrow winds 5-6 Beaufort, dry, and about 14 degrees. Perfect weather circumstances for a sailing trip with the Hoge Wier! I am looking forward to sailing along tomorrow. It is the 27th of October and the Muider Hardzeildagen have started. The harbour is full of beautiful flat-bottomed boats, from smacks to large clippers, 70 in total. This is how Muiden must have looked like 100 years ago. The photogenic fortified city with its centuries-old locks, located at the estuary of the Vecht, with the castle of Muiden in the distance; together they form the setting of this historical picture.
Sunday morning half past 9 a.m.: we embark the clipper the Hoge Wier, on which the crew and other guests are already drinking their coffee. The day before, they have sailed a very good race. The Hoge Wier became the number one in their class, the small clippers, with a lead of 50 minutes on the number two. That’s promising for today, with a good team and high wind speeds. Sacha explains to us our strategy and we cast off. First, he skilfully steers us through the locks and then we sail to the IJsselmeer. The sails are hoisted and in the main sail a reef is taken in. It is very hard work to hoist that large piece of fabric, but together it is done impressively quickly. We start very well and we sail with a will. My husband gets to steer a lot and that is also one of the most fun parts of sailing along: the crew tries to make it a wonderful trip for everyone. We go fast, sometimes there is even water in the gangways, but everything is under control. We take a lead on our competitors and, once, we even take the wind out of our competitors’ sails, although we do it in a sporty manner. When we are sailing in front of the wind, we also hoist the water sail. All other ships hoist theirs as well; it is a beautiful sight. We enjoy it all. I also have the feeling I get to know the crew a little. Old friends you haven’t seen for a while, but with whom you resume the thread easily. The catering also works very hard. With admiration I see how delicious sandwiches are brought on deck just the minute everyone get hungry, even though the ship is quite tilted. No problem, we eat in peace and quiet. After 2,5 hours of sailing, we pass the finish line. Satisfied. Again we finish first. Curiously we keep up with the achievements of the other ships and we enjoy the beautiful skies and the wide waters. How lovely Muiden is!
