History
Watersportverenigung W.S.V. HAIRT-hILLE was founded on 24 April 1968 and has grown over more than 50 years into a close-knit community of watersports enthusiasts. The association currently has 157 members and operates a harbour on the feeding canal connecting the Old Meuse with a lock to the Brielse Meer. The marina is the first port of call for boaters heading towards the Brielse Meer and is known for its quiet, picturesque location. The club grounds are equipped with permanent surveillance cameras providing 24/7 protection for boats and members' property. The clubhouse is the centre of club life, hosting events, celebrations and social gatherings such as pub quizzes. For guests, the harbour offers limited visitor berths with basic facilities; registration on arrival is via the harbour master. The club has slipways and an agreement with W.S.V. Zwartewaal allowing members and guests to use their facilities, as wastewater disposal is not available at the harbour itself. The club organisation includes a chairman, secretary, treasurer, harbour master, membership administration, technical affairs and a slipway coordinator.
