25 CLASSIC CHARTERS
17 18 NETHERLANDS
Charter sailing is in three main areas: Zeeland (a system of saltwater islands marshalled by locks and sea defences), the Ijsselmeer (inland sea) and the Wadenzee (coastal island hopping – setting of Riddle of the Sands). The Dutch love metal boats: first iron, and these days steel and aluminium. The typical yacht will be metal with a flat bottom, leeboards, gaff-rigged, and as stoutly curvaceuos as a clog.

FISHING
Birthe Marie, a 36ft (11m) Danish fishing ketch, built 1933, sails out of Iona off Mull in Scotland’s western isles. Owner Mark Jardine likes nothing better than dropping a line over for some fish. Birthe Marie was in last month’s CB on our Restoration of the Year shortlist.
