We are pleased that you are interested in rowing or sailing at De Hoop. Everyone is welcome. We suggest that you come and see what the club is like. You can come on Saturday and Sunday mornings between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM, and during the summer months also on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. Please ring the front doorbell to be let in.
LEARN TO ROW AT DE HOOP
We have monthly introductory meetings on Tuesday evenings at 8:00 PM. Always register in advance using the button below. If you have never rowed before, you will first follow the basic instruction course. This will allow you get to know other club members. Sometimes, there is a waiting list for the course. You only start to pay your membership when you are scheduled for lessons. You can find information about courses and exams here.
If you have not rowed for a while, the Instruction Committee can schedule a few lessons to help you get back into the swing of things.
SOME OR EXTENSIVE ROWING EXPERIENCE
Every new member who can already row will first receive a tour of the club with information about De Hoop (every first Sunday of the month at 12:30 pm). You will also get the opportunity to row to determine your level. You can register by using the button below.
SAILING
In Vinkeveen, we have four Polyvalk boats available for members. We organize sailing lessons for inexperienced sailors. Use of the boats is included in the membership fee. Click here for more information.
MEMBERSHIP FEE
New members pay a pro rata membership fee in the first year (depending on the number of months remaining). The membership fee of the KNRB (national rowing association) and a one-time entrance fee are also payable. The complete membership fee overview can be found here.

Amsterdam residents in possession of a city pass can also become members. The membership fee is then partly paid by the City of Amsterdam. If you are in possession of a city pass and would like to become a member of De Hoop, please send an e-mail to eitartsinimdanedel@karzvdehoop.nl
Activities
New members are immediately invited to attend all our association’s activities (please see the Agenda), including a twice-yearly new member dinner, weekly rowing (Equipe) and team dinners.
Team Matchmaking
Looking for a team? If you don't know many people yet, a team of Hoop members is ready to help you find a team, for both recreational and competitive rowers, for both sculling and sweep rowing. You can contact us for this at hctam@karzvdehoop.nl
