Presentation of the association

The VVW was founded in Antwerp in 1932, as the Vlaamsche Vereeniging voor Watertoerisme, in opposition to French-speaking yacht clubs.

The VVW seems to unite an impressive number of clubs (sailing, diving, canoeing...) It seems that there are two kinds of clubs affiliated to the VVW:

• associated (geassocierde) clubs, which fly their own burgee on the main mast and the VVW burgee on the port side
• integrated (geintegreeerde) clubs, which fly the VVW
