Famous skutsje sails for the first time this year Everyone

Normally the Lutgerdina Smeltekop sails with sixteen crew members, today fourteen were present. Twenty-something Maurik is participating for the first time. “I was brought in by someone else from the team: Tim,” he says, drinking from a paper coffee cup. He has done sailing before, he says, pointing to the boat next to the skûtsje. “That’s my sailboat.”
