DinghyCoach is organizing high level sailing clinics in Medemblik, the Netherlands, during the European Summer season. The Regatta Center Medemblik  is located on the Ijselmeer in the North Western part of the Netherlands. Because of its unique location this man made 1100km2 lake offers a variety of great sailing conditions from April – September.

SAILING CONDITIONS

Ijselmeer
The Netherlands is a sailing nation with water everywhere. The 1100km2 freshwater lake on which Medemblik is situated offers a great variety of conditions from flat to steep chop to bigger lake waves. The lake is never deeper then 4 meters which makes it an excellent place to set up courses for training purpose.

Prevailing wind directions
The Netherlands gets different wind patters from high pressure, blue skies and sunny to low pressure systems with strong winds and showers. Its never boring! This makes Medemblik one of THE best places to train in Northern Europe. Always something different and from the steady North to Easterly on shore winds to the shifty and gusty West to Southerly off shore breeze.
