Rushing quietly through the Prickenweg: the magic of the Wadden Sea
The Wadden Sea is a mystery to many newcomers. But it's not that difficult to sail it. A guide for beginners in the area. Now available as a PDF download

Newcomers to the North Sea coast are particularly reluctant to discover the wonderful world of the tidal flats. In fact, a whole range of factors need to be taken into account and brought into line for a safe trip: Tides and currents, wind, waves and shifting sands. What at first seems a little confusing can, however, be put together sensibly in just a few steps.

We describe the special features of the Wadden Sea and show simple ways to calculate a trip. There are also lots of practical tips - on anchoring and falling dry and the most beautiful places, informative websites and the rules of the road in the World Heritage Site.

The article "Watt for beginners" can be found in YACHT, issue 21/2021. DK-Shop available. Or you can download the article directly via the link below.
