ZeilCie
The ZeilCie makes sure we can all go sailing, either in Friesland or here in Maastricht on het Grindgat. We take care of cleaning, the harbour, maintenance and safety. This means making sure the boats are always ready to sail.
Does this sound like fun to you? And do you have a clear idea of what the fleet should look like? Or do you want to learn more about the fleet and how to take care of it? Let us know! You can either help in the committee or just with maintenance, but every new idea is welcome! This way we keep the boats sailing.
