Sail Den Helder 2017

From 22 June to 25 June 2017 is Sail Den Helder 2017

Sail Den Helder is a big Tall Ships event in the North Holland. It was first held in 1993. Since then, the port was home to the big Tall Ships event 3 more times, most spectacularly in 2013 when it coincided with the celebration of the 525 anniversary of the Royal Navy. The 5^th edition in June 2017 will happen in conjunction with the Navy Days – the open days of Royal Navy.

Sail Den Helder will bring back the Golden Age of the Netherlands’ maritime history – if only for 3 days. A fleet of large and smaller vessels will visit the city with numerous international trainees on board. They will take part in parades, parties, shows, exhibitions and many other cultural events open to the crews and the general public. If you’re in the Netherlands in those days you can’t miss it!
