Board
“35th Board Njord” ~2020-2021 ~ of M.S.Z.V. Lagakari
President
Nea Mikkelä
Dear Lagakarians,
My name is Nea and I will be your President in the upcoming year! I am a second year law student here in Maastricht and this will also be my second year in the association as well.
I have so many precious memories of sailing in my childhood, and that was originally the reason I was convinced to join this association. Although I’ve had a bit of a break from sailing in the past years I am more than excited to get back to it and improve my skills on sailing whether it’s sunny or pouring rain (more likely the latter…).
I am also stoked about taking on the tasks of the President and therefore I would very much like to hear about your feedback and ideas on how to keep on improving our association, whenever you have some on your mind. I really hope we can make this a great year together! I’ll see you all on the water or at the online drinks!
Secretary
Anne Braakman
Hey Lagakarians!
My name is Anne and I am the secretary of Lagakari this year. I am currently in my second year of European Studies (yes, at McFasos) and I joined this beautiful association last spring (worst timing ever).
I have been sailing with my family on the Frisian lakes since I was fourteen, but I’ve never had actual lessons, so I’m hoping to get them here, and possibly earn some CWOs as well. Besides that, I hope to have a lot of fun online and in real life with cool people this year, and of course to do a good job as secretary! If you ever have any questions or feedback, please feel free to contact me. I hope to see you soon online, on the water or at the Dikke!
Treasurer
Valerie Lenigk
Hello Everyone!
My name is Valerie Lenigk, and I look forward to being your treasurer of Lagakari this year! I grew up in the United States and come from upstate New York, but also have a German-Chinese background.
This is my first year in Maastricht studying Business Engineering.
While I know almost nothing about sailing, I can play the piano and the canon (for the 1812 overture). Given our warming climate, I hope to learn how to sail soon, since I cannot swim for very long.
I am passionate about math and science and not being afraid of numbers will help be a good treasurer for you all.
I hope to see you soon on Zoom or in person!
Head of Pubcie
Alissia Devreux
Hello everyone!
My name is Alissia Devreux and I will be the head of Pubcie this year.
I am originally from Rome and this is going to be my second year in Maastricht and in Lagakari. I study Biomedical Sciences at the faculty of health, medicine and life sciences.
I actually had zero to none experience in sailing before I joined the association, but since then I have had the opportunity to enjoy sailing multiple times and hopefully will have several other opportunities to do it again with you. I am really excited to start this new year, that already promises to be quite unusual, with all of you!
I hope to see you all on Zoom and, as soon as possible, in real life as well!
Head of ZeilCie
Mathias Leclercq
Ahoi you lubbers!
My name is Mathias and I’ll be the head of ZeilCie this year. With my crew we will be responsible for the fleet and harbour maintenance. Everything will be done so that you can enjoy your time on the pond. Of course your help will be appreciated: If something is missing/broken or you have suggestions please let me know!
It’s my second year in the association but I have always spent a lot of time next and on the water. I mainly sail beach catamarans on which I take part in competitions. I have also been teaching how to sail on them for several years. I have less experience on monohulls but I will gain it (with my CWO’s). Btw I’m following EU studies.
Let Njord guide us through the shallow corona water. Hope to see you on the water soon!

Sailtechnical Committee
The Sailtechnical Committee (ZeilCie) takes care of all sailing-related issues within the association. This means buying, hiring, selling and maintaining the fleet. But also making sure there are enough skippers and boats on sailing afternoons and weekends.
Committees
The ZeilCie makes sure we can all go sailing, either in Friesland or here in Maastricht on het Grindgat. Whitin the committee tasks are distributed. For the matches we have a competition commissioner, for teaching and lessons we have a training committee. The rest of the committee takes care of our boats and harbour. This means making sure the boats are ready to sail.
Does this sound like fun to you? And do you have a clear idea of what the fleet should look like? Let us know! You can either help in the committee or just maintaining.This way we keep the boats sailing.

Especially during the cold winter period the AcCie provides an extensive program to keep the members occupied when there is no possibility for sailing. But also during spring a lot of activities are organized to enlarge bonding and have fun together. Examples of activities are: theme party’s, “Sinterklaas” evening, our yearly Lagakari anniversary dinner, Valentines day, beer or wine tastings.

History
The Sail association of Maastricht Lagakari was born in 1987. The birth took a lot of effort.
In May 1986, a team of six enthousiasic sailers participated in the GNSK (Groot Nederlands Championship) in Utrecht. They, of course, participated in the section team sailing. During this championship, the attention was payed to the fact that there was no student sailing association in Maastricht. But what isn’t there, can be formed! The students were enthousiastic and took the initiative to form a student sailing association in Maastricht. They started brainstorming!
The promotion could start. During the INKOM 1986, the activity of choice sailing was organized. The information market was the place to tell everyone about the plans of forming the sailing association. Of cource, the possibility to subscribe was already there.
After a sailing weekend in Friesland, the last days of September were used to collect some energy. Therefore, there was a silence around the association, but ideas kept growing. In December 1986, a information evening was organized. This evening was meant to divide the work within our association. Fifteen people subscribed to a total of six committees.
In June 1987 a General Aspirant-member meeting took place. The statutes were approved. This meant that the first board could be chosen. On the 19th of November 1987, the statutes were ratified. Therefore, the first official General Assembly could take place at the end of December.
Name
Due to the southern wind in Limburg, we can sail to the high North were we met the Norwegain mythology of the wind and water. Laga is the god of the flowing water. Kari is the giant who brougth the wind from Rusland. Their forces are united and together they form the name Lagakari.
Lagakari Song
Lagakari voor de wind
Zal het altijd gaan
Frisse bries de zeilen strak
’t Recht van haar bestaan
Bikkels, bier en Beerenburg
‘t Drinkgelag de baas
Refrein
Lagakari voor de wind
’s waters beste vrind
Lagakari godenkind
Tot mijn dood bemind.
The unofficial part:
Lagakari aan de wind
Saurus kanoclub
Circumflex, Tragos
Ichthus, seven-up
Koko’s gijp is achterlijk
Zeilers zijn de baas
Refrein
Lagakari schrik der zee
Roeiers pas maar op
Een grote golf, ‘t water spat
Zeilers gaan voorop
Regen, storm en golfslag
Weergoden de baas
Refrein
Old member association
Are you (almost) done with studying in Maastricht, but not at all done with sailing and drinking with your Lagakari friends? Water en Wind is the perfect place for you!
At Lagakari’s old-members association, you can find other members that, just like you, are not ready to stop sailing. Every year, Water en Wind tries to be at the LIW and the Lagakari Introweekend with as many former members as possible. But that is not all, because throughout the year, they also go sailing every once in a while.
In addition to sailing, Water en Wind has several other, non-sailing related activities, such as drinks and the Lagakari Newyearsdinner. All of this for only 30 euros a year and the costs of the activities you want to attend!
