Classic Yacht Racing from Durgerdam to Hoorn | Sailing the Dutch Canals & Unexpected Weed Trouble

Sailing Cornish Crabber 26 Molly of Mylor: Durgerdam to Hoorn | Classic Yacht Fleet Adventure Join us aboard Molly of Mylor, our beloved Cornish Crabber 26, as we sail from Durgerdam to Hoorn with a spirited fleet of Dutch and English classic gaff-rigged yachts along the famous Standing Mast Route of the Netherlands. This leg of the journey offers a perfect blend of traditional sailing, friendly rivalry, and the ever-changing challenges of cruising. The day begins with light winds and some light-hearted racing across the Markermeer, as crews compete to snatch a wooden clog being towed behind each boat — a quirky Dutch OGA sailing tradition that adds fun and flair to the fleet. As the wind builds later in the day, the pace quickens, and we enjoy some truly exhilarating classic yacht sailing across the Markermeer. But it's not all smooth sailing. We encounter patches of wire weed, brushing along the hull and eventually entangling the propeller. Though the weed falls away, but it temporarily blocks the seawater intake, leading to engine cooling issues and a damaged impeller — a reminder that even on the most beautiful sailing days, technical problems can strike. This video is perfect for those passionate about yacht cruising, traditional sailing, and Dutch canal adventures. Watch for stunning footage, expert tips, and real-world sailing experiences from one of the most scenic routes in Europe. #CornishCrabber #SailingNetherlands #StandingMastRoute #ClassicYachts #YachtSailing #Markermeer #DutchCanals #BoatLife #SailingEurope #OGA #gaffer Sound effects and music courtesy of pixabay.com
