Zon, wind, zeilen, eilandhoppen en vrijwilliger zijn? Dat kan bij SailWise!

Zeilen geeft een ultiem gevoel van vrijheid. Een gevoel dat veel mensen met een handicap niet kennen. Dankzij SailWise (een non-profit organisatie) kan iedereen genieten van een fantastische ervaring op het water, ongeacht zijn of haar beperking. Met de juiste aanpassingen en begeleiding is het voor iedereen mogelijk om te (leren) watersporten! Alleen met de inzet van vrijwilligers kan SailWise haar activiteiten organiseren.

Ben jij geïnteresseerd om vrijwilliger te worden? Bekijk dan de advertentie of bezoek de website van SailWise!

Imagine it being early spring. It’s still cold from the winter, as March has only barely arrived. Then imagine us sailing at exactly that moment, completely ignoring all conventions. No cold showers, but new starts. A start of the sailing season, to be exact. Gather your courage, gather your warm socks. Regardless, Boreas will sail on, this spring being no exception! Sign up here!

The 23rd of March 2018 there will be a Boreas Gala! Guys, get your pens, write a letter to the prettiest / nicest / best date and go for it! Girls, get ready to bake some cake, or just buy cookies in the store depending on the guy that asks you to join him on this evening. We would like to see as much (old-, new-, half-, ‘special’-) members and plus ones at this evening. There should be enough chances for you to talk about sailing, boreas, studying and everything else you can come up with. Ask for instance someone’s idea about when the J24 will finally hit the water or when the next BakBoord will come out. Further information: the gala will be held in Eindhoven, there is room for talking as well as dancing and a photobooth. There will also be the option to dine with fellow Boreans beforehand. P.S.: Even without a date you’re still welcome.
