Participants
Varend Corso Westland has many different types of participants: companies, grower associations, villages, hamlets, municipalities and youth. These participants sail in a category of their choice. Within the parade we can distinguish the following categories:
Corso boats
Corso boats sail along under a title that falls within the theme. The flat westlanders who traditionally brought fresh produce to the auction are used for this purpose. However, the boats are made up almost unrecognizable with décor and products, with the products clearly part of the décor. Think of produce as flowers, plants, vegetables, fruits and seeds. The dimensions of these boats are about 2 meters wide and between 7 and 15 meters long.
Sailing Westlanders
These unique historic ships, equipped with hatches, movable mast and swords on the sides are beautiful to see sailing by themselves. For this reason, these boats are only generously made up with Westland product while keeping the look of the boat itself intact. Therefore, these boats do not sail under the theme of the parade and thus remain clearly recognizable.
Small vessels
Traditionally, a number of small craft are also part of the parade. These are often sloops or vlets smaller than 7 meters. Participants richly decorate their craft with fresh produce.
Special vessels
Within the parade, there is also definitely room for special vessels. Consider a pontoon sloop that manages to sail independently or is carried by a tugboat. In this way, a very original decor can go sailing through the waters in which, of course, flowers and vegetables are prominently incorporated.
