SNEEKWEEK

SNEEKWEEK
Every year in August, Sneek is in the sign of sailing. During the “Sneekweek” watersport-lovers from all over Holland will come together on the Sneekermeer.
This whole week sail-contests take place with different kind of boats, also the well known Friese “skûtsjes”. But not only sail-contests, also a party every night and a lot of amuzement, will make the Sneekweek a happening.
Jacobijnerkerk or Great Church
This biggest protestant church of Leeuwarden belonged to a Jacobin monastery until the protestants confiscated it. Typical for such a monastic church is the lack of a tower, which makes the church a bit difficult to find at first. The choir is a mausoleum for the Frisian branch of the (Oranje-)Nassau family, the ancestors of the current royal family.
Skutsjesilen Spectacular races...
Skutsjesilen
Spectacular races with antique freightships. The flatbottomed sailingships were used to transport manure, soil, potatoes etc in the beginning of last century.
Larges families lived in the tiny deckhouse. In the slow periodes, skippers took the whole interior out of the deckhouse and engaged in sailingraces for money.
In 2001 the races are held from july 21 until august 3. You have to inquire at the local touristboard for the places, because the fleet moves every day. Every day after the race, there is a party for the winner and for the losers.
