Race of the Classics - high class visitors (Race of the Classics)

Race of the Classics - high class visitors. Hellevoetsluis, as a former historic naval port, was very honored to welcome the Race of the Classics fleet. They were looking for a safe haven, where else, waiting for the race to England.

Race of the Classics (ROTC or "de rees") - the largest and most prominent student sailing event in Europe, where teams from many Universities and Colleges from the Netherlands will sail a race on an impressive fleet of large classic sailing ships. The ships sail from the Rotterdam Veerhaven towards the coast of England, and then finish in Amsterdam.
