Watersportvereniging Hoorn
Our association was founded on 10 June 1932. It is an active association with a beautiful sheltered harbor. For example, competitions are organized for members, other associations and class organizations. The association also has an extensive sailing training for the youth. For some sailors this training has been the basis for an Olympic, World, European or National championship. For the members, numerous events are organized during the year, such as tours, workshops, lectures and the Sinterklaas celebration. The members receive our beautiful De Hoornblazer magazine 5 times a year.
The association also offers people with disabilities the possibility to practice the sailing sport under the name Sailability Hoorn. From our location, third-party courses are also provided by third parties. To make this all possible, many members but also non-members are active within the association as a volunteer.
Our harbor and club area is located directly on the Juliana Park, with a view of the characteristic Hoofdtoren. The port has 180 berths and also has a passing jetty with electricity. The available WiFi is free. There are excellent sanitary facilities in the harbor building. For our passers-by there is the possibility to have a snack and a drink in the "Shed" with terrace and a beautiful view of the main tower. There is a nice playground for children on the property. From the harbor you can walk into the Julianapark where you can walk. It is also only five minutes walk to the old center of Hoorn where you can see many characteristic old buildings and other sights. The old center also offers a variety of shops and a lively market on Saturday. For daily shopping there is a large supermarket in the vicinity. For this, a few bicycles are available free of charge at the harbor master.
