Holland Vaart in summer atmosphere on Westeinderplassen Watersport-TV The first 25-minute episode of 'Holland Vaart' starts on the Westeinderplassen. It is a sultry summer evening when Rob Ligtenberg is busy cleaning his tjalk named 'Nooit Volmaakt' with a water hose. A ship that was once bought and renovated by his father and is cherished by Rob. The next day we first sail to Jachthaven Stenhuis, where Arnaud Brouwer takes us through the history of the annual Aalsmeer pram race. Then we visit Kempers Watersport, which has been around for 50 years. Bart Kempers runs the family business and appears to have a special pass for e-foiling. But he is also committed to the further development of the Westeinderplassen. World trip At the marina of Kempers watersport we meet Stefan Stil who is busy preparing for a sailing trip around the world. Sailing, sleeping and enjoying. This is the slogan of Recreation Park Aalsmeer. Our next destination. We are welcomed by owner Erik Verbeek and speak with a few berth holders about their favorite spots on the Westeinderplas. Speaking of special places. This is definitely Fort Kudelstaart, part of the Defence Line of Amsterdam. Project developer Martijn de Liefde wanted to transform the Fort into a luxurious nautical water sports center where sailing is central. In Holland Vaart he talks about it extensively. Shortly after this episode went online it was announced that the development of Fort Kudelstaart had been halted. Before we say goodbye to the Westeinderplassen we stop by Jachthaven Piet Huis for a special meeting with 80-year-old Jan Rinkel, the proud owner of a Marco motorboat.
