The Sintrale Kommisje Skûtsjesilen (SKS) has been organizing this since 1945.
Fourteen skûtsjes (each linked to a Frisian town) compete for the Sulveren Skûtsje and the blue championship pennant.
It is Frisian intangible heritage.
How does it work?
Period: During the northern construction holiday (late July, early August), usually 11 races on various Frisian lakes and locations.
Scoring: The lowest scorer after 11 races wins (one worst day does not count).
The skûtsjes sail with authentic rigging and crew (often families).
The event attracts a large crowd, is broadcast live (including Omroep MAX), and exudes pure Frisian sailing tradition.
