Board
“36th Board Orion” ~2021-2022 ~ of M.S.Z.V. Lagakari
President
Ezgim Mistikoglu
Dear Lagakarians,
My name is Ezgim and I am the president of Lagakari. I am from Turkey and I’m a second-year psychology student at UM. Since 9 years old I’ve been on a boat, sailing and racing passionately. Through the years, I started to think like a sailor. I realized the power of nature and how it makes all individuals equal at sea. The wind and waves don’t care about reputation or wealth or the followers you have on Instagram 🙂 What matters is the respect towards nature. I also realized that instead of fighting against the rough conditions, it is possible to set your sails differently, and all will be well eventually. The mindset of a sailor helped me in different ways and at some point, sailing became my lifestyle. That’s why Lagakari felt like home when I first joined the association :). I’m so glad to have the opportunity to contribute to a sailing association. As you already noticed it means a lot to me 🙂 I hope to learn a lot from all of you and I wish to have an incredible journey.
p.s. You can find my contact details on the website. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with me for everything Lagakari related.
Secretary
Barbara Otto
I’m Barbara Otto, a Belgian second-year biomedical sciences student. I will also be Lagakari’s secretary for this year 🙂 I have been sailing for about 5 years now. I started learning in Belgium but really wanted to continue with this passion when I moved to Maastricht. That’s why I joined Lagakari, and I haven’t regretted the decision ever since. I believe sailing is a very special hobby that can be enjoyed in so many different ways, from the very adrenaline-inducing laser to the chilled, laid-back valk. Getting to enjoy the company of fellow sailors during the activities/drinks or other occasions adds the cherry on top!
I’m looking forward to focusing this interest on helping our association this year. Hopefully I will be able to share this energy with many people through my contribution to Lagakari. Looking forward to enjoying this year with you 🙂
Treasurer
Andreea Somesan
Hello Everyone!
I’m Andreea Somesan, I’m from Romania and I’m a first-year bachelor student in Biomedical Sciences. I am your treasurer for next year and I’m excited to be in charge of managing the money of the association. I have always wanted to play a part in shaping a community and I’m really happy that I can do that in Lagakari. I have no previous experience with boats so if you sail with me, you are definitely going to see me get confused several times. Despite all that, I love being on the water and especially eating cookies while on the boat. I’m an introvert so it is quite hard for me to be the heart of the party right from the start, but buy me a few tequila shots and you’ll definitely see me dancing it out on the dance floor.
Hope to have a great year having fun on and off the boat with you Lagakarians!
Head of Pubcie
Ece Karamagara
Hello!
I am Ece and I am the head of PubCie. I am in my first year in business engineering and my second year in Lagakari. I am from Turkey, and I have been a sailor since I was 10. I started to sail with my father and joining his races by just sitting in the cabin 🙂 I loved it so much that I started training as a racer. Then, I raced myself too with optimist, laser and 420. Joining this association gave me the opportunity to continue my passion and learn to sail on bigger boats. Hopefully, we will all have many chances to go sailing and have fun together! Don’t hesitate to contact me about your questions with the association 🙂
Head of ZeilCie
Evi van Gorp
Hee everyone!
My name is Evi and this is my second year in Maastricht and in the association. This year I will be the head of ZeilCie. As a child I used to go sailing with my dad and I think that’s where my love for water started (even though as a kid I was always afraid to walk over the floating piers haha:). I really like it to be in/around/on the water and when I have the chance you can find me there. Since I’m in the association I try to learn as much as possible, not only about sailing, but also about the boats and how to take care of them. I’m really looking forward to maintaining our fleet and harbour this year together with my committee!
Hope to see you soon in the harbour!
Btw, you’re always welcome to help and share your knowledge with us 😉
Head of AcCie
Leonor Veloso
I’m Leonor and I will be head of AcCie this year so, together with the rest of the committee, we will make sure that everybody has a good time, outside of sailing. I’m in the second year of my bachelor, Maastricht Science Programme, and this is also my second year in the association. I grew up in Portugal where my family taught me how to sail (I have more experience in lasers and 420s), so I decided to join the association so I could continue to learn sailing in different boats. I had a lot of fun last year and I want to make this one even better, I am looking forward to improving my CWO levels and maybe help some of you achieve yours!
I’m very excited for this year and I can’t wait to meet you all, on the water or at an activity!

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.

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!
