About Skutsjesilen Championships

Skutsjes are normal Frisian ships that were initially utilized as payload dispatches by Frisian ranchers. When a year cruising titles are sorted out in which captains of these memorable boats battle for the respect of turning into the skutsjesilen champion. Skutsjes have a long and level structure with which they could achieve Frisian homesteads through shallow water. Now and then ranchers utilized them in cruising matches to win some cash. Because of new guidelines d by the water sport affiliations and the landing of speedboats, enthusiasm for the skutsjes declined. It wasn't until after World War II that some skutsjes fans began advancing skutsjesilen again and transformed it into the cruising occasion that it is today.

The skutsjesilen title happens in August and offers you an extraordinary chance to consolidate water sports with Frisian legacy and fun. The cruising rivalries are held over the span of about 14 days and begin in a few towns in Friesland. Thusly, you can see the notable skutsjes take to the water in better places. There is a wonderful clamor in the towns during and after the races.
