Interest association of professional Sailing Skippers (BBZ)
The interests of professional sailing are promoted and protected by the BBZ, formerly the Belangenvereniging Beroeps
Zeilschippers (Professional Sailing Skippers Association), now given a more comprehensive name, after the
motorcharter union has joined with the BBZ. The BBZ was founded in 1979 and aims to promote the interests of its
members to ensure the best possible conditions for conducting their business in national and international waters. In
addition the BBZ seeks to improve the nauticaltechnical circumstances under which professional sailing has to operate.
The BBZ supports the initiatives of the VHZC
