Board
“34th Board Argo” ~2019-2020 ~ of M.S.Z.V. Lagakari
President
Dorian Wevers
Dear Lagakariërs,
My name is Dorian and I’m the President of Lagakari for this year. I think it’s great that I can contribute to this ‘gezellige’ and sporty association.
This is my second year in Maastricht and in the association. I study Liberal Arts and Sciences at University College Maastricht. I love to (learn how to) sail, but I also enjoy spending time at a boat (especially in the sun!)
As board we are open for all your feedback and ideas. We want Lagakari to be a place for everyone. If you have any questions, please send me an e-mail or talk to me at the drinks.
I hope we can have a great sailing year together. Lagakari voor de wind!
Love!
Secretary
Jasmijn Godding
Ahoy Sailors,
My name is Jasmijn Godding and I am the secretary of Lagakari for this year! I’m from a small village in Brabant called Gemert, and since 2018, I study Liberal Arts and Sciences (yes one of those hippies) here in Maastricht. I became a member of Lagakari about a year ago and am really enjoying myself so far, although I do need to brush up my sailing skills still… When I was younger, both of my grandpa’s had sailing boats and I would go sailing with them, which are some really great memories. Besides that, I became friends with people from a sailing college who have shown me how awesome sailing (and the drinking aspect of it) is! My goal for this year is to get my CWO 3, so I will finally be able to sail a boat by myself. However, an even more important goal is to do my job as secretary as good as possible, so if you ever have any questions, ideas or anything else you want to share, you know where you have to be ;).
See ya on the water (or in the Dikke), mates
Treasurer
Bas Putman
Hello everyone!
I am Bas Putman and I will be the treasurer of the association upcoming year! This means I will take care of the financial side of Lagakari. I study European Law, and I am starting my second year in Maastricht now. I enjoyed being outside and on the water since I was a child! I joined Lagakari this year, and don’t have any sailing experience actually. But I am really excited to work on that next year and get some certificates. I hope to see you soon on one of our boats or at the drinks!
Commissioner of Internal Affairs
Jonathan Mertens
Hello Lagakarians,
My name is Jonathan Mertens and this year I am commissioner of internal affairs, vice-president, head of Wesp, and co-head of Accie. I am from Lanaken (just across the Belgian border) and after living in a few different places, I finally ended up in Maastricht for the master’s in health education and Promotion. Next to this, I’m also following an evening course to become a certified lifestyle coach. Back in the days, I started sailing in a valk together with my little brother and my parents. Then, I also obtained my CWO 1. After this, I continued sailing in a dinghy for which I managed to obtain CWO 3. Unfortunately, this was approximately 10 years ago and so, I saw the perfect opportunity to pick up sailing again through Lagakari! Now, I’m in my second year as a member of Lagakari and hopefully I can go sailing even more than last year. Hopefully I’ll see you soon on the water!
Head of ZeilCie
Stefan Raats
Heyyy!
My name is Stefan Raats and I am the head of ZeilCie this year. This means that I, along with my committee, will make sure that our fleet and materials are in tip top condition! A little bit about myself: I am 19 years old and I am studying biomedical sciences (2nd year). I did not have any sailing experience when I came to Maastricht, however, I was immediately hooked after one open sailing afternoon during the inkom. When I am not in the harbour for maintenance, I am taking a sailing lesson with one of our Schippers, to improve my levels as much as I can.
Together we will, with the wind in our sails, make it a great year!

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.

Together with the workgroup sponsoring (WeSp) we take care of the sponsors. Also we are responsible for the website, promote (sailing) activities with posters, flyers and stickers and make sure the associations magazine: ‘De Reeknuttel’ and the yearly ‘Smoelenboek’ are made. You can not avoid being photographed by PubCie members every once in a while.

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!
