Anyone like to borrow some Dutch guide books and charts for this summer?

[MoodySabre]

I'm not going this year so mine are available for loan. I have two lots of each guide book (Busby & Broad and Navin), a Navid North Sea pilot (not current for windfarms so not for detailed passage planning) and charts galore and a Staandmast Book. And a Dutch dictionary and a few other bits. I find a road/train map useful for planning crew changes.

Can meet up Southend to Bradwell area.

PS
The Water Map Live app is worth £6.99 for a year of bridge timings etc. You can also download a copy of the current inland waterways rules (Binnenvaart Politie Reglement (BPR)) which is published in volume 1 of the ANWB Wateralmanak (only available in Dutch) or at Binnenvaartpolitiereglement 2023 - Waterkaart Live. You are required to have it on board even though it is Dutch.

Five stars for this guy , there not many who will be open to lend out their book .
shame you not got Denmark as that where we off to in a few weeks .

This is the East Coast Vic - a better kind of place. I’ve lent stuff out in previous years.
I hope you are going to do some exploring before taking off again.
I’d love to do the Baltic but my wife has retired from sailing and crew changes for a long trip are too complicated. Even Holland requires a bit of planning. Hey ho, serves me right for not sailing when I was younger.

We had five months last year in the Netherlands, so this year we will hit Holland for a few week then it’s of the Germany Kiel canal and on to Denmark .
have to say we looking forward to it,
after a winter of doing maintance not just on the boat but the house too and we could both do with a long cruise.

Hi, can anyone shed some light on the vignette for Dutch waterways. It's a bit confusing to say the least ??

Possibly this

I don't think it applies to those boats using the Stande Maaste Route.

It’s only if your using the inner water ways around Amsterdam, it don’t apply for say yachts passing thru, esimple say you came in at Ijmuiden an when on to sixhaven and then intothe meer it don’t apply.

Ok. thanks to you both. I am looking to travel from Niewpoort Belguim to Amsterdam in a 9.2 metre motorboat. And just trying to figure out what I need in both countries...

If you already checked in , I guess you may enter in Vlissingen, there no need to do anything
if you go as far as Ijmunden once through the lock just keep going .
if you need to check in , Ijmuiden once through the lock you can go on the wall , will will say no mooring but it’s fine , then a short walk to the ferry terminal you can Can check in there .

in Vlissingen you can call the official and there will come to you or during working hours you can go to them but it’s quite a walk .

Netherland are very laid back , we spend near on six months here last year and we never bothered checking in .

this year on the way to Denmark we checked in as we have two friend who was travelling back by ferry .
enjoy .
