Ahoy Young Professionals,
Building on the success of previous editions in 2022, 2023 and 2025, RTV and Young Rabo are now joining forces to take part in the Race of the Classics Young Professionals 2026!
We have secured the Zephyr, a classic tall ship with room for 24 Young Professionals⛵.
Now there's just one thing missing... A crew! ⚓
What is Race of the Classics?
The Race of the Classics is a yearly 6-day event in which 250+ young professionals sail aboard 11 classic tall ships in an epic Race across the North Sea.
The best part? You don't need any sailing experience! Next to sailing, you'll have plenty of opportunities to connect, network and create lasting memories with young professionals from a wide range of organizations.
The fleet will include young professionals from organizations such as Boskalis, NautaDutilh, Philips, NS, Vattenfall, Damen Shipyards Group, the Ministry of Defence, Fokker and, of course, Rabobank.
