What to do in case of damage?
The Catharina van Mijdrecht was built in 1916 and she is a sailing monument. To keep her in shape we invest a lot of time in maintenance, for which we get no subsidies of any kind. She is not owned by a large corporation but by the skipper. We ask you to keep this into account when we let you use her for the duration of your trip.
Of course, it is inevitable that things are subject to wear and tear, and sometimes break, and usually nobody means this to happen. Unfortunately we are sometimes also confronted with destruction through irresponsible behavior or even through intent. The cost of repair and/or replacement will be charged to the party organizing the trip.
In all cases, we ask you to report any damage directly to the crew. If we need to find out afterwards the cost can run a lot higher. We need to present the ship in good working order to our next group of guests as well.
