Klazien Matter-Walstra

Klazien grew up in the Netherlands, learning to sail on the lakes in Friesland. Meeting fellow sailor Andreas, they competed in several European championships together, and got married. When their daughters were 10 and 12 they chartered in Greece for the first time, “collecting” islands. This continued over the next 8 years, and that collection now has about 115 islands. They also chartered in Thailand, Seychelles, and Cuba. When Andreas retired in 2018 they bought Rûzje Wyn, a Wauquiez Centurion based in Aprilia Marittima. Klazien also decided to retire, and now they have much time for sailing in summer. They know Croatia quite well, as it is easy to reach from Italy, but have also sailed back to Greece twice. It is still their favourite sailing destination, although it's much more crowded now than it was in the 1990's!
