Hiswa te Water in Lelystad, which was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the coronavirus, will be more diverse than ever this year. In addition to sailing and motor yachts, dinghies and tenders, many catamarans will also be on display at the Inwater trade fair in the Bataviahaven. The fair management is expecting a total of more than 300 boats to be on display, moored on no less than 50,000 square metres of jetty space.
Current topics such as electric drives and sustainable manufacturing processes also show that the country's largest water sports trade fair is responding to the latest developments in the market. In contrast to the two previous years, all the signals are now green. The organisers expect between 25,000 and 30,000 visitors to attend the exhibition in Lelystad over the five days of the fair.
