4 April 2026. Medemblik, The Netherlands

World Cruising Club is delighted to once again be part of Contest Yachts’ annual Open House, taking place on Saturday 4 April 2025, 10:00–17:00, at their Medemblik headquarters. This special event is the perfect opportunity to discover what makes Contest yachts so exceptional, with the yard opening its doors wide for visitors to explore every stage of the build process — from composite construction and outfitting to final delivery.

Guests will be able to view a wide range of yachts in production, as well as other models in the water and available through the brokerage.

As part of the day, the World Cruising Club team will host informative sessions on preparing for bluewater cruising, including safety, sail selection, equipment choice, insurance, and how to get your yacht ready for an ocean passage. We’ll also be sharing details about all our rallies.

Whether you’re planning your first adventure or preparing for your next, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn, be inspired, and connect with fellow sailors. Everyone’s welcome — we look forward to seeing you there!
