  Sail along with the Pieperrace in early spring! This first race of the year is a kind of test run for the upcoming season. The spectacle takes place in the southern part of the IJsselmeer off the coast of the hospitable town of Volendam and is becoming increasingly popular. More and more ships from professional (sailing) shipping and the traditional brown fleet make their annual appearance, ready to compete with each other. This provides an impressive spectacle for the public on the Dike as well.
