A colorful procession of homemade boats went through the Amsterdam canals today. The Pieremachochel tour is a popular part of Sail. Benno Graas and his brother Johan from Wormerveer participated in a Roman chariot, with a prancing horse. “The audience is so impressed, a really nice experience.”
Anyone who follows NH a bit may have been difficult to escape. The special design by Benno went over the North Sea Canal yesterday during the arrival of Sail. He still had some doubts, but he has floated.

Now it was the turn of the Amsterdam canals to be ‘conquered’. Above you see how that went, below a report about the construction of the Pieremachochel.
