The Bontekoerace has been held annually since 1992 on the last weekend of October on the Markermeer near Hoorn. Originally founded as an alternative to the overcrowded Muider Hardzeildagen, this traditional regatta marks the ceremonial end of the sailing season. What began with just a few ships has grown into a magnificent event celebrating the diversity of Dutch sailing heritage with clippers, tjalks, schouwen, botters and kwakken.
