Euromaster/OBK ILCA 7/ Standaard en ILCA 6/Radiaal 3 – 4 – 5 September 2021 Noord Maas – Kinrooi - Ophoven

Welcome

Welcome to Noord Limburg Maas Sailing Club. We are very proud of hosting this event for the second time. Located at Kinrooi and home to the 2021 Belgian edition of the Laser Masters series we hope that many competitors and family will find their way to this event. Our location provides one of the largest available inland sailing venues of Belgium and offers apart from sailing also great opportunities for all sorts of leisure entertainment, sightseeing and last but not least excellent gastronomy. Large shopping centers such as Village, Roermond Outlet Center and with cities such as and Maastricht in short range there are ample options for those that do not sail.

On site is enough space for several campers - please pre-book via NLM. In addition within a few miles of the club you can find as well hotels and bed and breakfast arrangements. All further information can be found in this note. Our staff will be at your disposal during the weekend in order to help you as much as possible during your stay. Looking forward to meet you and good racing to all,

Luc Vanthoor President Zeilvereniging Noord Limburg Maas
