The International Topper Worlds 2025 will take place from the 19 to 25 of July.
Registration and Equipment Inspection will be carried out over the weekend of the 19th and 20th, with racing from Monday 21st through to Friday 25th July.
The championship venue is the Regatta Center Medemblik, pictured above, with race management provided by the Royal Yacht Club Hollandia.
The International Topper Worlds were previously held in Medemblik in 2019 when hot temperatures and a regular afternoon breeze made for excellent racing on the fresh waters of the IJesslmeer. You can catch the 2019 highlights film below.
Accommodation:
There is plenty of accommodation within walking and cycling distance of the Regatta Center, with several waterside bungalow parks nearby, EuroParcs IJsselmeer being the nearest one, offering three styles of 3-bedroomed bungalows. Demand is high in July, so early booking is advised.
B&B accommodation within the village of Medemblik is also an option, plus there are 30 Camper van pitches at the Regatta Center as well as 15 tent spaces. Costs are €27.50 per camper van per night and tents are €22.50 per night. When registering a camper/caravan please advise the type, dimensions, and weight. To book contact Saskia Schagen at the Regatta Center.
Getting there:
Amsterdam Schiphol airport is 43 miles from Medemblik and a 50-minute drive. Taxis from the airport are expensive so better to take the train to nearby Hoorn and grab a taxi from there. Driving from the UK or Ireland, the Hook of Holland ferry crossing is the nearest, with a short 1.5 hour / 82-mile drive onward to Medemblik.
