Historic Sand Yachts Meeting 2024
Thursday 5, Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 September 2024

During the first weekend of September we go back in time and bring together the international heritage of historic sand yachts on the beach of De Panne.

In Belgium and other countries, owners and pilots of historic yachts have lovingly renovated, repainted and upgraded to revive the grandeur of sand yachting.  

Sand yachting is not just going faster than the wind; it is also about strolling on the beach in the bright sun, having a nice chat with the co-pilot, and enjoying the beach and nature.  'Dolce far niente' at the Westhoek, the most beautiful corner of Belgium.
