2024 International Meeting and AGM
For the 2024 S&S Association Members Weekend, we will return to Enkhuizen, one of the most scenic towns in the Netherlands, on 14-16 June 2024. We plan to welcome you on the Friday afternoon and catch up over an informal Indonesian buffet dinner. On the Saturday our race officer will set a course on the IJsselmeer for some serious sailing, followed by the prize-giving and formal dinner at the Snouck van Loosen hotel. We will round off the weekend on Sunday with the AGM and lunch at Enkhuizen’s most iconic building: the Drommedaris Tower.
For those who plan to take their own yacht to Enkhuizen – and we hope there will be many of you – berths will be reserved in the Royal Dutch Sailing & Rowing Association’s Buyshaven Yachtharbour.
Enkhuizen is easily reached by sea: via Den Helder and entering the IJsselmeer at Den Oever, via Terschelling and Kornwerderzand, or via IJmuiden, through the North Sea Canal, passing Amsterdam and crossing the Markermeer to Enkhuizen. Should you arrive in the Netherlands by plane or ferry, Enkhuizen is easily reached by train (72 minutes from Schiphol airport, one transfer). The train station is a ten-minute walk from the yacht harbour where we will be based, and close to the town centre.
Enkhuizen has plenty of options for staying ashore. You may consider booking at:
Hotel Snouck van Loosen, https://hotelsnouckvanloosen.nl
Hotel Die Port van Cleve, https://deportvancleve.nl
Hotel De Koepoort, https://www.hoteldekoepoort.com
We can also organise a berth on one of the yachts if available.

We currently expect the cost of the event to be no more than €180 per person and hopefully less. Further details will follow soon. If you think you will attend please let us know at the email address below.
Warmest regards and best wishes for the new year
Pauline Arnold, Margriet Kroes, Roland van Loenen and Jan Schiereck
