See attachment for the sailing area. A scenic wetland with reed marshes, lakes and canals. Easy and safe sailing in shallow and sometimes narrow waters.
The concept is simple: no mechanical power is to be used, just messing about in small boats.
It is organized by the 'Natural Sailing Society' , a rather loose group of enthousiasts. The name Dorestad refers to the town that was pillaged and plundered by the Danes when they sailed upriver. Nothing remains of Dorestad, only the name of the nearby replacement town Wijk bij Duurstede. So Dorestad will never be reached by any raiders anymore.
The concept of natural sailing stems from the writer/sailed Hans van der Smissen, a Drascombe sailor. A strong advocate of doing great things with small boats.
The website is in Dutch ande the information yet limited. I will be happy to answer any questions, but i am not part of the organizing team.
